Description of Driving Event:

During preparation for public display of a Lunar Module Test Article, museum personnel claimed to be exposed to a small puff of brown/orange vapor, presumably oxidizer. The incident occurred August 23, 1998, when the museum technician was removing portions of lines that were not representative of flight configuration. The test article had been field decontaminated and checked for oxidizer contamination prior to shipment to the museum. It may be possible that some isolated portions of the system and offgassing from the flexhose softgoods may have been overlooked as potential sources of oxidizer.
