SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Virtual Advancement [1] of Learning for Operational Readiness (VALOR) program at SimX, Inc. has been awarded a multi-year program by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) to develop a novel VR medical simulation training capability for the astronaut recovery and space launch missions. This program seeks to enhance the unique, mission-critical clinical training provided to U.S. Air Force (USAF) Pararescue Specialist, Combat Rescue Officers, and flight surgeons enabling them to identify and treat a variety of medical conditions not seen in other contexts.

Key Points: 
  • SimX was awarded a multi-year $1.7M contract by the U.S. Space Force to develop virtual reality training simulations that will help prepare Pararescuemen, Combat Rescue Officers and flight surgeons to treat medical conditions in space and during astronaut recovery.
  • SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Virtual Advancement [1] of Learning for Operational Readiness (VALOR) program at SimX, Inc. has been awarded a multi-year program by the U.S. Space Force (USSF) to develop a novel VR medical simulation training capability for the astronaut recovery and space launch missions.
  • These new capabilities aim to enable faster, more frequent, more effective and more cost-effective training for space operational medical support, enabling better medical outcomes for astronauts and space launch personnel.
  • The scalable SimX Scenario System allows for rapid development of new training materials and cases, and instant deployment to all learners.
