High - G Centrifuge Training
Workshop (Soesterberg) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
If you want to go into space, you need to know how your body will react under extreme physiological conditions. One of the things to test is your tolerance to high accelerations, also known as "high - g". During this training, you can discover in a safe environment how much g you can endure. Our team of specialists teaches you how to increase your tolerance to avoid a g - induced blackout.
