APPENDIX 1 MEDDH-PS Date: Dear The panel on acceleration of the Armed Forces-National Research Council Committee on Bioastronautics is conducting a survey on motion simulators. I have been appointed by the chair- man of the panel to report on zero-G devices and simulators, in- cluding USAF, NASA, and Cornell Aeronautics Laboratory aircraft; subgravity, water immersion, and frictionless devices; and similar facilities. In view of the importance of this area of investigation, and because of the complexity and rising costs of such activities, this review appears desirable to assure maximum usefulness of such facilities, optimum cooperation between agencies, and to guarantee that new requirements of the future be incorporated in the proposals. It is planned that the information will be distributed later by the Armed Forces - NRC Committee on Bioastronautics to the various agencies and individuals interested in acceleration and subgravity research. Since you are using a device falling in the category indicated above, your cooperation in this survey is requested. Please use the attached outline in describing your device, and have your description returned to me at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, DR. S. J. GERATHEWOHL Chief, Bioastronautics Research Office 1 Incl AOMC (ABMA) Proposed Outline U. S. Army Medical R&D Command 141
