Questions, concerns, and requests to Mission Support:
• In the context of an experiment, we would need to simulate emergency protocols. During the next few days, we will simulate a depressurization at a random time between 10:00 and 18:00, and respond to it as a crew, following a protocol established with researchers from CNES.
In this protocol, we would need to perform an emergency EVA when the alarm rings, to simulate a repair outside of the station. Would it be possible to put on EVA suits, exit by the main airlock and perform an EVA in the immediate vicinity of the station, after a simple radio call to Mission Support?
