Caen University Hospital

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Healthy Volunteers

Treatments: Other: Parabolic flight; Other: measurement of the concentration of C02, CO and NH4, 3 exhaled gas with E-Nose system

Study type: Interventional

Details and patient eligibility

About

The main goal of the study is demonstrate that e-Nose system function is not altered in weightlessness and more specifically that gas concentration measurements are the same in weightlessness and normal gravity.
