Captain David Minard, MC, USN (May 23, 1913 – October 9, 2005) was an American physiologist who was heat stress physiologist for Project Mercury, the United States' first human spaceflight.
Minard was the academic advisor for Heru Satoto, M.D. who graduated in 1969 with a Master's degree in public health. Satoto recalled how Minard helped him in October 1968, complete a study program during the first academic day at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. At the time Satoto had recently arrived in the U.S. on his first trip abroad and was unfamiliar with the academic system in the United States. Satoto also remembered Minard's assistance with comprehending the Belding-Hatch index. Minard even went so far as to arrange site visits for Satoto to tour other industrial health institutions, Including Johns Hopkins University and UC Berkeley.[9]
