Meetings discussed the Apollo oxygen purge system (OPS) status
A series of meetings discussed the oxygen purge system (OPS) program status and design configuration.
The following conclusions were reached:
- The OPS theoretical reliability for completion of a 30-minute operation time was extremely high and would not be appreciably improved by the addition of redundant systems or components.
- Capability for preoperational checkout in the LM was desirable and was incorporated into the OPS design.
- Manual actuation was preferable to automatic actuation and was reflected in the design.
