The mobile quarantine facility (MQF) was a converted Airstream trailer used by NASA to quarantine astronauts returning from Apollo lunar missions for the first few days after splashdown. The MQF was on the aircraft carrier that picked up the capsule. Once the aircraft carrier reached port, the MQF was flown to Houston, and the crew served the remainder of the 21 days of quarantine in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center. The purpose of the quarantine was to prevent the spread of any contagions from the Moon, though the existence of such contagions was considered unlikely. It functioned by maintaining a lower pressure inside and filtering any air vented.

  • The mobile quarantine facility (MQF) was a converted Airstream trailer used by NASA to quarantine astronauts returning from Apollo lunar missions for the first few days after splashdown. The MQF was on the aircraft carrier that picked up the capsule. Once the aircraft carrier reached port, the MQF was flown to Houston, and the crew served the remainder of the 21 days of quarantine in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center. The purpose of the quarantine was to prevent the spread of any contagions from the Moon, though the existence of such contagions was considered unlikely. It functioned by maintaining a lower pressure inside and filtering any air vented. In June of 1967, NASA awarded contract to design and build the four MQF's to Melpar, Inc., of Falls Church, Virginia. Lawrence K. Eliason was the head project manager. The MQF contained living and sleeping facilities as well as communications equipment which the astronauts used to converse with their families. The Apollo 11 crew also used this equipment to speak with President Nixon, who personally welcomed them back to Earth in July 1969 aboard the recovery ship USS Hornet after splashdown. The trailers housed the three crew as well as a physician and an engineer who ran the MQF and powered down the command module. Four MQFs were built for NASA: The quarantine requirement was eliminated following Apollo 14 once it was proven the Moon was sterile and that the facilities were therefore unnecessary. (en)

Une fois que le porte-avions est arrivé au port, le MQF est transporté par avion à Houston et l'équipage passe le reste des 21 jours de quarantaine au Manned Spacecraft Center (centre spatial Lyndon B. Johnson). Le but de la quarantaine était d'empêcher la propagation de toute contagion provenant de la Lune, bien que l'existence de telles contagions ait été jugée peu probable. La procédure est abandonnée après Apollo 14. La MQF contenait des installations de vie et de couchage ainsi que du matériel de communication que les astronautes utilisaient pour converser avec leurs familles. Quatre MQF ont été construits pour la Nasa (missions Apollo 11, 12, 13 et 14). La MQF d'Apollo 14 est conservée au musée de l'USS Hornet à Alameda en Californie. * * * (fr)

MQF berisi fasilitas hidup dan tidur serta peralatan komunikasi yang digunakan para astronot untuk berkomunikasi dengan keluarga mereka. Awak Apollo 11 juga menggunakan peralatan ini untuk berbicara dengan Presiden Nixon, yang secara pribadi menyambut mereka kembali ke Bumi pada Juli 1969 di atas kapal pemulihan USS Hornet setelah pendaratan. Karavan menampung tiga awak serta seorang dokter dan seorang insinyur yang menjalankan MQF dan mematikan modul perintah. Empat MQF dibangun untuk NASA: Persyaratan karantina dihilangkan setelah Apollo 14 setelah terbukti bahwa Bulan steril dan oleh karena itu fasilitas tersebut tidak diperlukan. (in)

Использовался НАСА для карантина астронавтов, возвращающихся с миссий Аполлон. Целью его создания было предотвращение распространения каких-либо инфекций с Луны, хотя их существование считалось маловероятным. Он мог поддерживать давление внутри, а также фильтровать воздух. Внутри астронавты могли жить, спать, внутри находилось оборудование для связи астронавтов с их семьями. Его использовали, когда президент Никсон лично поздравлял членов экипажа миссии Аполлон 11 на борту авианосца «Хорнет», после приводнения.MQF был списан после миссии Аполлон 14, когда было доказано, что Луна лишена жизни.
