TB 26-04 Webbings for Use in Elevated Oxygen Environments
Enriched oxygen environments reduce the prebreathe time required before extravehicular activities. Fire-resistant materials are essential for crew safety because these environments increase flammability risks.
- Natural version passed flammability testing at 37% oxygen and 8.2 psia in J-configuration.
- Black version had a maximum oxygen concentration (MOC) of 35% oxygen at 8.2 psia.
- Testing evaluated COTS webbings for use in softgoods applications on future lunar and Martian missions.
