EOD, NASA take blast at the past
Steve Speandorf, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center explosive safety officer, starts laying out an expired rocket engine during a recent detonation and disposal event June 8 at the Open Burn/Open Detonation range. NASA AFRC partnered up with the 412th Civil Engineer Group Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team. Since a growing number of explosive ejection seat items had been in storage at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Life Support shop over the years and needed to be disposed of, the NASA AFRC Life Support shop sought out the assistance of the EOD team to dispose of these expired and potentially volatile items.
