A Remote, Unmanned Dewatering System for Recovery of the Solid Rocket Booster of the Space Shuttle Program.

Abstract

The design, fabrication, and testing of a prototype system for dewatering the Solid Rocket Boosters recovered after launch of the NASA Space Shuttle Vehicle are described. A summary of operations conducted with unmanned underwater recovery vehicles (the CURV) provides the background for the development of the design concepts embodied in the dewatering system. (Author)
