The Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory has completed extensive renovations on the Genesis hypo-hyperbaric chamber in Groton, Connecticut, which was inaugurated in September 2025. Capable of simulating pressures up to 300 feet and altitudes of 70,000 feet, the chamber will facilitate advanced human research for Navy Medicine after being inactive since 2017, including studies on carbon dioxide absorption and decompression stress in collaboration with NASA.
