    AFRL opens research altitude chambers, becomes force in aerospace physiology

    WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFRL) – When Airmen are flying at 50,000 feet, they have to be prepared for every situation. And every piece of equipment that goes up with them must be able to function under the pressures of flight as well. At the Air Force Research Laboratory, ensuring pilots, air crews, and all flight equipment can
  • The Nano-Bio Materials Consortium provides the means for industry—now with AFRL personnel working alongside—to develop smart medical technology innovations that benefit the Air Force mission and the greater world, such as this low-cost, wireless, vital sign monitor developed with flexible hybrid electronics and adapted for USAF En Route Care patient monitoring.

It also shows an area that was scoured clean by the craft’s descent stage rockets — the lighter-colored area shown near the center-top. Testing done at AFRL’s Materials and Manufacturing ensured the landing craft’s protective coating would survive being blasted by that debris. (Photo courtesy of NASA)

    AFRL testing made Perseverance, the search for life on Mars possible

    On February 18, 2021, NASA’s rover Perseverance touched down on the surface of Mars to begin searching for evidence of past life. The success of this touchdown would not have been possible without the work of a team of researchers who operate unique erosion testing equipment in a windowless bunker at Wright-Patterson’s Air Force Research Lab. And this is not the only Dayton connection to this particular Mars mission.
