The chambers will allow investigation of physiological issues associated with exposure to medium and high altitudes in extreme environments, and enable equipment development, qualification and human ratings.
The suite will support research activities to develop solutions to meet the Department of Defense’s current and future aviation and space operations.
The chambers, to be installed in a new purpose-built facility, will include pressure vessel and environmental control technology.
