Aerospace Physiological Research Laboratories

The Aerospace Physiological Research Laboratories study how the human body reacts to conditions experienced during air and space travel, such as altered oxygen levels, pressure changes, and gravity variations. Their work helps improve safety, health, and performance for pilots, astronauts, and passengers. By conducting experiments and developing new equipment, they aim to understand physiological challenges caused by flight environments and create solutions to mitigate risks like fatigue, dehydration, or cardiovascular issues. Ultimately, their research ensures that individuals can operate effectively and safely in the unique conditions of aerospace environments.
