Spacecraft Standard Personal Equipment
It is sometimes useful to have an idea of what equipment is available on a spacecraft. By law or by necessity, spacecraft carry on-board a minimum safety, survival, and technical equipment. The following items are suggestions for basic portable equipment which could be found on most spacecraft.
Space walk
- Complete vacc suit sets, typically one per technical crew member, plus on or two extra;
- a few extra tanks, helmets and life support packs;
- sometimes one or two rad-shielded heavy vacc suit in case of Solar flares;
- thruster packs.
Air poisoning/pressure loss
- Respirators;
- airmasks and generic filters;
- envirobags;
- heating units.
Medical equipment
- Vehicle medkit;
- two or three emergency medkits;
- biomonitors;
- antitoxins for CO2 and common food and water poisoning;
- drug patches with doses of generic antibiotics and pain-killers;
- enzyme-blocking drugs for common diseases;
- anti-space-sickness drugs;
- bandage spray;
- plastiskin;
- pneumospray hypos;
- extra preserved rations;
- microgravity-biochemistry ephemeral nanosymbionts;
- sometimes one or more nanostasis pod on military or expedition craft.
Technical equipment
- Tech-spiders and/or polypede (or bush robot);
- swarms: repair (electronics and mechanics), cleaning, pesticide, and decontamination (fission and fusion spacecraft);
- basic toolkits (electronics and mechanics);
- teradisks
- energy cells
- chemsniffers for fire or toxic hazards (including fixed devices);
- field scanner;
- nanofiber rope;
- pressure boxes;
- flashlights (adaptable on helmets);
- dry fire extinguishers (portable and fixed);
- surveillance bugs/cameras at strategic locations on military vessels.
Standard emergency equipment
- Communicators;
- teleview goggles adaptable on helmets;
- chemscanner on military craft for swarm detection;
- sometimes personal re-entry kits;
- possibly a few zero-G weapons (electro-laser, perhaps laser).
