Title: A New Airlock Approach for Human Exploration
Summary / Review : This paper reflects Boeing airlock studies over the previous several years to reduce mass, launch packaging and power usage -- the "doorlock" concept. "This paper summarizes past conceptual work and trade studies, presents a detailed structural analysis, and shows current full-scale engineering development unit (mock-up) activities." Major support due to Space Station Freedom efforts, but the author notes that it's applicable to lunar surface operations as well. - MP
