As an Aerospace Physiologist, Steven's unique involvement in the specialty of aerospace physiology and aircrew life support equipment has spanned over 30 years. Mr. Martin has been personally involved in training well over 13,000 pilots and aircrew members. His military operational experience has included training military pilots in not only aerospace physiology subject matter, but also aircraft ejection and ground egress procedures, emergency parachuting, survival equipment and techniques, high-G centrifuge training, extreme high-altitude training, spatial disorientation training, night vision and enhanced vision systems training, and fighter pilot physical conditioning programs. Mr. Martin's civilian aerospace physiology teaching experience has included human performance academics, plus high-altitude chamber training, spatial disorientation training, enhanced vision training, and cockpit smoke training. Steven's educational journey includes the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine, University of North Dakota, Community College of the Air Force, National Air Security Operations Center, and a variety of specialty aviation training, but most importantly practical experience. Steven was integral to the development of the USAF Fighter Pilot High-G Training and Fighter Pilot Physical Conditioning Programs, and the Aerospace Physiology Department at the University of North Dakota's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, where he currently teaches commercial, corporate, and collegiate pilots.Mr. Martin's professional goal has been to elevate the standard of training by providing the most current, accurate, relevant, and innovative training possible involving aerospace physiology. Consequently, he's strived to experience what he teaches. As a result of that pursuit, his personal training has included various military and civilian survival schools, research and observation flights in virtually every aircraft type and flying condition, military parachutist training, live-fire ejection seat training, over 80 six- to nine-G human centrifuge profiles, Unmanned Aerial System training (MQ-9 Predator), 1,000's of high-altitude and rapid decompression hypobaric chamber flights, and 100's of research flights in specialized spatial disorientation/visual illusion simulators and flight simulators.
