Talk:Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue

I assume "delta-v" means change in velocity. In which case, shouldn't the units be ms^-2 (ie metres per second per second)?

No, it's not a change in velocity per unit time. It's the change in velocity which results, in the absence of outside forces, from the expenditure of some propellant. In this case, the &Delta;v is that due to expending all of the propellant available in the SAFER pack. (Perhaps the best units would be "m s^-1 recharge^-1." :)

SAFER is also used on the ORLAN suit
I believe there's a good image of it in the book U.S. Space Gear. Having trouble finding many online sources for it but here's two. &  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigboy (talk • contribs) 04:54, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Here's another source confirming the existence of SAFER for orlan suits --Craigboy (talk) 21:26, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Started looking at some Russian EVA photos and they don't seem to be using it(instead they use the hooks), not sure what the deal is. --Craigboy (talk) 04:49, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

All the expeditions' EVAs from 1998-2010 used tethers. Didn't see SAFER being used Gallery Index --Craigboy (talk) 06:26, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I've come to the conclusion that SAFER was intended to be used on the Orlan but for some reason it's not. --Craigboy (talk) 04:07, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Confirmation that Orlan doesn't use SAFER - At about 1:50.--Craigboy (talk) 10:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Found some info in the book US Spacesuits (page.321), in 1995 NASA and RSA agreed the ISS safety requirements necessitated a Russian version of SAFER to be developed. Concepts were drawn up on how SAFER would fit on the Orlan-DMA suit. Several different iterations of mock-ups were made in the US. In 2002, Zvezda completed the development of a Russian SAFER system to be used on a Orlan-M suit. It [was] expected to go into use in 2006. But that's where information stops and since the book was published in 2006, it doesn't offer any explanation on why this didn't happen. --Craigboy (talk) 11:09, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I found two images, to give you an idea of what it looked like and for one one it looks completely different from the American SAFER. and --Craigboy (talk) 11:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Found more info but apparently it's refereed to as the USK. --Craigboy (talk) 12:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Essential it was scrapped due to lack of funds. http://www.militarynews.ru/excl.asp?ex=44 --Craigboy (talk) 02:06, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
