Title and Subtitle: Civil aeromedical standards for general-use aerospace transportation vehicles : The Space-Shuttle Follow-On
Report Date: July 1971
Authors: Mohler SR, Gerathewohl SJ
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.
Key Words: Space Shuttle, Orbital Flight, Advanced Aerospace Systems, Manned Orbital Laboratory, Aerospace Medical Standards
