Altitude chamber training begins at the new 711th Human Performance Wing complex
Future flight surgeons begin an altitude chamber flight at the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM). The altitude chamber simulates the effects of high altitude on the human body. It is the latest USAFSAM class to transition to WPAFB from Brooks City-Base, Texas as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). (U.S. Air Force photo by Chris Gulliford)
Human Performance Wing helps develop standardized approach to space training
Staff Sgt. Jason Wassom, 3rd Space Operations Squadron, sits at a student station in the new Standard Space Trainer (SST) Integrated Training Center at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado following the ribbon cutting and official opening of the new system. The technology concept for the SST was developed by scientists and engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory, 711th Human Performance Wing, Human Effectiveness Directorate, Warfighter Readiness Research Division, Continuous Learning and Performance Assessment Branch (711 HPW/RHAS).

Thermal batteries are powerful for their size, and have a long shelf life. (AFRL image)
Thermal batteries can remain inert for years, delivering instantaneous power when activated. They also have a high power output relative to their size, making them ideal for many strategic weapons systems. (AFRL image)
Microscopic imagery spotlights carbon foam’s complex geometry. (AFRL image)
The complex geometry of carbon foam is enhanced by this microscopic imagery. Its unique high-temperature properties, high thermal shock resistance and dimensional stability make carbon foam ideal for thermal protection and thermal management systems. (AFRL image)
