Civil Aeromedical Standards for General-Use Aerospace Transportation Vehicles. The Space-Shuttle Follow-on,

Abstract

Second-generation general-use aerospace transportation vehicles will evolve, and aerospace medical specialists must provide timely medical criteria for (a) occupant selection, (b) vehicle design features, and (c) operational guidelines. Incorporation of this aeromedical data will result in (a) enhanced mission success and mission efficiency, and (b) minimized opportunity for mission failure, accidents, and long-range adverse consequences due to human factors deficiencies. The data include medical standards for oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and monoxide, humidity, heat, water vapor, internal noise, radiation, and other items. (Author)
