Training on the pre-breathing assembly, Martin J. (Marty) Fettman, DVM, inhales a predetermined gas composition. A gas analyzer mass spectrometer determines the composition of the gases he exhales. The re-breathing assembly and gas analyzer system are part of an investigation that explores how lung function is altered in space flight.
