For fiscal year 2005, the Inventions and Contributions Board presented 2,917 NASA employees and contractors with more than $1,951,000 in Space Act Awards. In this issue of ASK, we will focus on the Personal Cabin Pressure Altitude Monitor and Warning System, an invention from Jan Zysko at Kennedy Space Center. The cabin pressure monitor may some day be instrumental in providing a safe environment on small planes and commuter jets where oxygen levels can plunge insidiously and dangerously in a very short time.
