Acceleration Tolerance Improvement With Full-Coverage Anti-G Suits

摘要

This report results from a contract tasking Polish Astronautical Society as follows: The investigator will evaluate full-coverage anti-G trousers the first year and the evaluation of different pressure schedules in the suits the second year. The Acceleration Tolerance Levels (ATL) of centrifuge subjects will be measured with the standard Polish anti-G suit. The ATL will then be measured again with a full-coverage trouser. The order of G-suit will be reversed in some of the subjects. Basic physiological measures will be recorded and ATL will be the primary end point. The percent oxygen saturation values from the cerebral oximeter will be recorded for each acceleration exposure. . In the second year. the contractor will investigate various suit pressures and the effect of those increases/decreases on ATL.
