Description

Space Shuttle Enhanced Life Preserver Unit (ELPU) developed by Mustang Survival/Meta Research to address the in-water mobility deficiency experienced by smaller Space Shuttle astronauts when using the in-service Life Preserver Unit (LPU). The bright-orange ring houses an inflatable bladder, features a Velcro-secured opening, and its unconventional shape allows both a high degree of buoyancy and a self-righting factor. The unit bears a Meta Research tag on the rear: "Item Name: Enhanced Life Preserver Unit?Manufactured Date: Jan 96?Serial No.: 960039, Size: Universal, Contract No. NAS-9-19200." In fine condition.
