Four carefully selected military personnel undergoing flight training were exposed to constant rotation at a speed of 10 RPM for 12 days in the Pensacola Slow Rotation Room. Environmental and working conditions simulated in many respects those which might obtain in a rotating orbiting spacecraft. The findings are discussed under three headings: clinical symptoms, clinical laboratory findings, and psychophysiological performance. The experiment has demonstrated that countermeasured in addition to adaptation are needed if there is immediate exposure to rotational velocities of 10 RPM and that the rotating room is a useful device for further exploration of vestibular and central nervous system mechanisms.
