Hypogravity simulation using the Variable Gravity Suspension System: A technical report
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Human movement has evolved within Earth's gravitational environment (1 g; −9.81 m s−2). Future human exploration of terrestrial bodies, including the Moon (0.17 g; −1.62 m s−2) and Mars (0.38 g; −3.71 m s−2), will require astronauts to live and work within reduced gravitational environments (hypogravity).

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Telescope in lunar orbit [PDF]
The use of a large telescope in high lunar orbit 4000 km above the Moon's equator is proposed. It is recognized that the Hubble Space Telescope (ST), will provide the necessary capabilities if it can be transferred to lunar orbit.
