Abstract
Comprehensive fire and safety studies have been initiated to determine the effort required to protect the tracking network from loss of life, property, and operational continuity due to fire. The studies recommend the installation of water storage tanks, new water mains and fire hydrants, installation of fire hose cabinets, automatic early fire warning devices, automatic smoke detectors, and manual alarm stations. The protection offered to the Deep Space Network with the installation of this equipment will be equal to the highly protective risk category used by private industry to describe maximum installed protection against loss of life and property. This article describes the scope of the initial surveys, the follow-on preliminary engineering reports, and the design/construction efforts.
