During September and October of 1997 the Military Aviation Hospital in Kosice was entrusted by the Head of the Slovak Air force to select appropriate astronaut candidates for space flight and stay at the Russian Space Station 'MIR' from 26 applicants (experienced elite fighter pilots of the Slovak Air Force) to be placed in a mixed international crew (Slovak Russian and French). A resulting seven day mission of the first Slovak astronaut in February 1999 was successfully completed. Part of the medical-psycho-physiological selection of applicants was exposure to hypobaric chamber conditions.
