SYMPTOMATOLOGY DURING PROLONGED EXPOSURE IN A CONSTANTLY ROTATING ENVIRONMENT AT A VELOCITY OF ONE REVOLUTION PER MINUTE

Abstract

Eight subjects were systematically observed on certain tasks aboard the Pensacola Slow Rotation Room at a velocity of one RPM. Pilot experiments indicated the great majority of unselected subjects would be symptom free at this speed. Consequently, four subjects were selected whose susceptibility to canal sickness and motion sickness was far above average. The findings warranted the conclusion that under the conditions of this experiment, exposure to a constantly rotating environment on one RPM does not handicap the performance of persons with far greater than average susceptibility to canal sickness.
