Feasibility Study of a Rescue Vehicle

A Space Rescue/Utility Vehicle Feasibility Study


Book Description

A preliminary design study was conducted to determine the feasibility of performing space rescue, resupply, and reconnaissance with a glide-type reentry vehicle. It was assumed the 15,000 pound rescue vehicle could be boosted to a 100nm circular orbit by a Titan 3-D launch vehicle. From this parking orbit, orbital transfer, rendezvous, and deorbit capability were determined. A reentry trajectory analysis was performed and showed that a crossrange of 2,000 nm could be attained. Heating analysis indicated that the reentry problem could be overcome with currently available engineering materials. Due to a relatively small onboard incremental velocity capability, only limited use as a rescue vehicle is planned. (Author).

Aurora Fire Department Ambulance Service: a Feasibility Study


Book Description

The Aurora Fire Department periodically reviews how its resources are being used. To date, the Department has not conducted research to determine the feasibility of owning and operating an ambulance service. The research was needed to complete the last step of the Emergency Medical Services Strategic Plan. The purpose of this research was to determine the feasibility of the Aurora Fire Department to own and operate an ambulance service for the citizens of Aurora. The research findings determined that operational elements of a quality EMS system include good people, clinical sophistication, operational effectiveness and financial stability. Conclusive findings to prove or disprove the claims of the private sector ambulance companies to be more cost effective, efficient, and responsive than public sector transport services could not be obtained.
