Recent Advances in Aeronautical and Space Medicine.

Abstract

Two papers presented at the meeting of the Aerospace Medical Panel in Brussels, on the 26 January 1979, provide valuable data gained from the experience with the selection and training of Space Shuttle Payload Specialists as well as a review of physiological problems expected during the forthcoming Space Shuttle operation because of the enviromental stress of space life. Three other papers given in this meeting session are intended to update the Aerospace Specialist in the selection aircrew (including female personnel), basic science concepts and clinical operational requirements of advanced oxygen systems designed for future high-performance combat aircraft and - for the first time at AGARD meetings - medical and physiological problems faced during the development and operation of commercial supersonic vehicles.
