What does ETB mean in NASA

An equipment transfer bag (ETB) is a type of storage bag specifically designed for transferring medical, laboratory or general purpose equipment safely and securely. It typically features a variety of compartments to store items separately, as well as straps to hold them in place. The bag also often includes a handle or shoulder strap for easy portability.

ETBs are usually constructed from durable yet lightweight fabrics such as nylon, polyester and ripstop. They may also contain reinforced stitching for added strength and durability.

To clean your ETB, you should spot-clean the exterior of the bag using a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. The interior lining can be wiped down with an antiseptic solution or sterilized with alcohol wipes. Do not machine wash the bag, as this could damage it.

Yes, many ETBs feature zipper locks or other similar security features to help protect the contents of the bag from theft or tampering. Additionally, some models include RFID tags for greater tracking accuracy.
