3) THEE CONFIGURATION IS CONFIGURED FOR 

ACCESTIBILITY AND DOES NOT CORRECTLY REPRESENT 

THE FLIGHT EMC TEST CONFIGURATION. SOME EMI 

PROBLEMS WILL NOT BE SOLVED PRIOR TO TESTING 

OF THE LAB NODULE PRIME HARDWARE IN PLIGHT 

VEHICLE #3. EMC TESTING OBJECTIVES SHOULD BE 

EMPHASIZED IN 111QTV TEST. 

THE SPO SHOULD DEVELOP A COORDINATED TEST 

PROGRAM. 

THE SPO SHOULD' INVESTIGATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR 

FURTHER UNDERWATER CREW SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT. •
