Founded in 2018, Mission Spaceflight is committed to next-generation space exploration. Focused on providing training opportunities that enable flight education and concern research on Earth, the settlement of Mars, and eventually, exploration beyond our solar system. Course participants log several hours pressurized with air and breathing oxygen in Pacific Spaceflight IVA spacesuits, learning how to work comfortably at suit pressures. Students also train for a variety of off-nominal scenarios, including water landing and capsule egress. Learning complies with Code of Federal Regulations standards (14 CFR 460.51 spaceflight participant) for such emergency situations.
The course covers further introductory topics such as pressure suit history, flight physiology and response to emergency spaceflight situations.
