  2. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    High altitude breathing apparatus is used for unpressurised (ambient pressure) aeronautical and mountaineering activities where the oxygen content of the natural atmosphere is insufficient for maintaining physical activity, consciousness, or life, but the atmospheric pressure is sufficient that a pressure suit is not needed.

  3. Effects of high altitude on humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude...

    The effects of high altitude on humans are mostly the consequences of reduced partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere. The medical problems that are direct consequence of high altitude are caused by the low inspired partial pressure of oxygen, which is caused by the reduced atmospheric pressure, and the constant gas fraction of oxygen in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM-1

    GM-1 (Göring Mischung 1) was a system for injecting nitrous oxide into aircraft engines that was used by the Luftwaffe in World War II.This increased the amount of oxygen in the fuel mixture, and thereby improved high-altitude performance.

  5. Hypobaric chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypobaric_chamber

    Hypobaric chamber at the Biopol'H, in Catalonia (), used with patients and athletes who need treatment or training with reduced atmospheric pressure. A hypobaric chamber, or altitude chamber, is a chamber used during aerospace or high terrestrial altitude research or training to simulate the effects of high altitude on the human body, especially hypoxia (low oxygen) and hypobaria (low ambient ...

  7. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    Before launch, the pressure was kept at slightly higher than sea level at a constant 5.3 psi (0.37 bar) above ambient for Gemini, and 2 psi (0.14 bar) above sea level at launch for Apollo), and transitioned to the space cabin altitude during ascent. However, the high pressure pure oxygen atmosphere before launch proved to be a factor in a fatal ...
