Some New Water Survival Equipment Tested

Good morning all,

Surviving a reentry back on planet earth requires ultra high quality equipment.

Article tells of tests on a new life raft. A rescue beacon also mentioned in article.

Organizations in article have websites and can be good sources for research. Much of all this stuff outside the realm of private citizen Preppers but it never hurts to learn what is being tested such as for cold water emersion suits.

 

Good evening Lonewolf,

Had not posted the article for the space shot recovery but rather for info on tested products. It's only an article but the link to the Offshore Tech Research Center has a "contact us" button and they are helpful for further research.

Our new BOP is an inflatable and anything that can filter down to the private citizen Prepper is valuable and will be throughly evaluated.

Of course, these new projects are ultra-expensive. Yest, the older projects did help the lower levels. Shark repellent researched and developed for WWII. Still have pamphlet re Beaufort scale. Admiral Beaufort ran an expensive project and he is still up there with the best of the oceanographers.
