AUSTRALASIAN AEROSPACE PARAMEDIC PROGRAM

Commercial spaceflight is opening up new job opportunities in the space field. For this reason we have created a professional training course for Aerospace Paramedics. In addition to the theoretical topics, the course allows paramedics to be trained in microgravity resuscitation maneuvers through simulated microgravity training. In addition, their psychological abilities will be tested in a special environment.

During the activities in simulated microgravity they will be able to put into practice their skills acquired over the years but in an unconventional environment. This will give them the opportunity to develop other skills required in the aerospace field

In this way, they will be able to experience what astronauts feel during their stay in space.
