Experience a cabin decompression

WHAT ARE YOU SIMULATING?

In a spacecraft, you can breathe normally because the cabin pressure is kept under control. In case of a malfunction, this pressure can drop, lowering the quantity of available oxygen.

During this training, we expose you to oxygen deprivation under the supervision of our experts.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

• You will learn all about the conditions and symptoms associated with hypoxia (oxygen deprivation).
• You will experience early symptoms so that you can detect and address them on time.
• You will get an answer to all your questions about cabin decompression.
• Afterwards, you receive a certificate of completion.
  
  

WHAT THE DAY WILL LOOK LIKE:

• We welcome you to the Centre for Man in Aviation in Soesterberg, The Netherlands.
• You will get a short medical check-up to make sure that it is safe for you to perform this exercise.
• Our experts will explain the concept of hypoxia and guide you through the experience.
• You will participate in a small group of ten people at the most.
• You enter our hypobaric chamber, wearing an oxygen mask. We then reduce the atmospheric pressure inside the room to simulate high altitudes.
• You remove your oxygen mask to experience the symptoms of hypoxia under the supervision of our experts.
• We will ask you to perform simple tasks, such as writing your name. Afterwards, you will be surprised to see how poorly you performed. Just like a drunk driver, you will think that you are doing fine, while your ability to function gets increasingly compromised.
• You will learn what the symptoms of hypoxia symptoms are so that you can avoid oxygen emergencies during space travel.
• You will receive a certificate of completion.
• You can combine this module with any of the other space training modules.
