Biological sex as a variable in immunity does not affect parabolic flight-induced alterations in immune responses [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
The present era of spaceflight is accompanied by two meaningful breakthroughs. The access to in-orbit missions for civilians and the increasing enrolment of female astronauts require detailed investigations on the impact of gravitational stress on human ...

The dynamics of parabolic flight: Flight characteristics and passenger percepts [PDF]

Acta Astronautica, 2008
Flying a parabolic trajectory in an aircraft is one of the few ways to create freefall on Earth, which is important for astronaut training and scientific research. Here we review the physics underlying parabolic flight, explain the resulting flight dynamics, and describe several counterintuitive findings, which we corroborate using experimental data ...

Acceleration profiles and processing methods for parabolic flight. [PDF]

NPJ Microgravity, 2018
AbstractParabolic flights provide cost-effective, time-limited access to “weightless” or reduced gravity conditions, facilitating research and validation activities that complement infrequent and costly access to space. Although parabolic flights have been conducted for decades, reference acceleration profiles and processing methods are not widely ...
