Smilies Legend
[i]As in Apollos 11 and 12, the three astronauts, after emerging from their spacecraft into a liferaft, will be transferred by helicopter to the recovery carrier and immediately enter a Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) resembling an aluminum camping trailer. When the carrier arrives within helicopter range of Samoa, 40 to 45 hours later, they will leave the MQF through a recently designed double airlock. In the airlock they will put on clean flight suits and respirators, then board an adjacent helicopter, and be flown to Samoa. There the helicopter will be towed to the rear of the waiting C-141 transport plane carrying a second MQF, into which the men will transfer for the flight to Houston with only a refueling stop in Hawaii. The crew will remain in the MQF at all times during the flight from Samoa to Houston.[/i]
