The Center for Studies and Research on Aeronautical Medicine (Centro Studi e Ricerche di Medicina Aeronautica or CSRMA) was an aviation medicine organisation in Guidonia Montecelio. ==History== At Guidonia, from 1937, the Center took over and improved many facilities pertaining to the Italian Forensic Institute in Montecelio that had been working since the 30s. The Center devoted itself to the training of pilots on very high altitude missions. Extremely complex equipment would test and verify the capability of pilots assigned to such highly demanding tasks, to test heart and ventilation condition under specific operating stress parameters. In 1946 a new Nucleus for Studies and Research in Aeronautical Medicine was set up again, to become a Center once more in 1951; the unit, guided by Col. Tommaso Lo Monaco MD, resumed past experiences and was located at the Sapienza University of Rome near the Forensic Institute. The center soon acquired an international standing, mostly because it developed and built a new pneumatic tank to simulate conditions of extremely low pressures and hypoxia, to train personnel in aerobatics. The Center could rely on very modern equipment to meet NATO standards, and in 1963 became the first and only Special School for Aeronautical and Spatial Medicine in Italy. Because of its relevance in the field of medicine, it was visited in 1965 by Col. John Glenn, USAF, the first US astronaut to orbit the Earth. In 1986 the Center became the new Aeronautical and Space Medicine Unit at Pratica di Mare Air Force Base. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Center for Studies and Research in Aeronautical Medicine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
