Spaceflight and the telltale heart
The American Journal of Surgery, 1983Cardiac arrhythmias have not been a common occurrence during manned spaceflights. Cardiovascular deconditioning, on the other hand, is a universal finding both during and after exposure to microgravity. Exercise capability is reduced only in the immediate postflight period as is cardiac output.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Spaceflight
The Journal of Nutrition, 1987The United States Space Station being planned for the 1990s will accommodate six or more crew members on 90-d flights in low earth orbit. Adequate nutrition will be essential for maintaining crew health, effectiveness and morale. Although much is known from prior space experience about in-flight metabolism, nutrition and associated food technology ...

The human biology of spaceflight
American Journal of Human BiologyAbstractTo expand the human exploration footprint and reach Mars in the 2030s, we must explore how humans survive and thrive in demanding, unusual, and novel ecologies (i.e., extreme environments). In the extreme conditions encountered during human spaceflight, there is a need to understand human functioning and response in a more rigorous ...

History Of Spaceflight Lasers At NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center
Frontiers in Optics 2007/Laser Science XXIII/Organic Materials and Devices for Displays and Energy Conversion, 2007NASA GSFC possesses premier knowledge in space qualifying lasers for space. However, getting LIDAR instruments in space has not been a smooth road. Lack of replacement parts and space qualifcation costs are the main challenges.

Pharmacodynamic Aspects of Spaceflight
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1991Little is known at present about the effects of human exposure to microgravity on the pharmacodynamics of medicinal agents. Considering the known physiologic perturbations associated with spaceflight and the effects of some of these perturbations on the pharmacodynamics of certain medicinals that act on the central nervous system, it is likely that the

The future of human spaceflight
Acta Astronautica, 2001After the Apollo Moon program, the international space station represents a further milestone of humankind in space, International follow-on programs like a manned return to the Moon and a first manned Mars Mission can be considered as the next logical step. More and more attention is also paid to the topic of future space tourism in Earth orbit, which

Effects of spaceflight on the brain
The Lancet NeurologyThe number of long duration human spaceflights has increased substantially over the past 15 years, leading to the discovery of numerous effects on the CNS. Microgravity results in headward fluid shifts, ventricular expansion, an upward shift of the brain within the skull, and remodelling of grey and white matter.

Toward the end of his classic book, Interplanetary Flight, Arthur C. Clarke in 1950 was looking ahead to the end of the twentieth century and the prospects for the future of space travel. He noted that to the ordinary man “this planet is still the whole of the universe: he knows that other worlds exist, but the knowledge does not affect his life and ...
