NASA And Dental Dreams
As part of the first manned space flights during the Skylab operations during the seventies the astronauts who were sent into earth orbit were accompanied by modern dental equipment. When it comes to having the means for dental care especially during the Skylab travels of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA the military dentists are to thank for their efforts that improved the in flight medical support system or IMSS for astronauts. Three man crews were sent into space from 28 to 56 days during the Skylab program and on all of the three flights launched during this period modern dental equipment was utilized.
