A report of the physiological, psychological, and bacteriological aspects of 20 days in full pressure suits, 20 days at 27,000 feet on 100 percent oxygen, and 34 days of confinement, parts I, II, IIIThe study was designed to validate the 100% oxygen (258 mmHg) gaseous environment for 20 days with 7 days pre and post run evaluations. Studies include: renal and pulmonary function, retinal vascular changes, rather extensive blood work, nutrition, metabolic and water balance, bacteriological flora alterations, psychological manifestations, and full pressure suit and personal hygiene evaluations.

While certain significant psychological alterations were observed, the physiological studies disclosed no significant variations from normal values. The atmosphere was well tolerated; however, 20 days constant full pressure suit wear posed some special problems.
