This book examines the generally bad effects of weightlessness on the human body, which can include loss of bone and skeletal muscle mass, heart atrophy, immune system dysfunction and neurological problems. A large number of peer reviewed scientific studies are looked at and commented on. Some of the results of these studies have profound implications, which the author is not shy about pointing out. First hand accounts of the effects of weightlessness on a number of astronauts and cosmonauts are described and commented on. Other sources of information, including websites, are looked at if their ideas relating to weightlessness are interesting and seem well supported by facts. The ideas in this book are important to anyone who goes on a long space mission, especially to Mars or a nearby asteroid. Since the effects of weightlessness on the human body are similar to aging, except much faster, the author feels that this subject has relevance to almost everybody. The best known antidote to the effects of weightlessness has been found to be exercise, which is also able to slow down at least some of the effects of aging on Earth.

This book focuses on all of the major problems associated with the absence of body weight in space, by analyzing effects, adaption, and re-adaptation upon returning to Earth, using sound scientific principles embedded in a historical context. Serious problems for space travelers range from Space Motion Sickness (SMS) to recently discovered ocular effects that may permanently impair vision. Fluid loss and shifts, spinal changes, and bone and muscle loss are also all results of weightlessness. Starting with a brief definition and history of weightlessness, the authors then address in detail each problem as well as the countermeasures aimed at alleviating them. In some cases, alternative hypotheses regarding what can and should be attempted are also presented. As plans for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars develop, it will be essential to find countermeasures to weightlessness that are effective for missions that could span years.

Little is known about the effects of prolonged weightlessness and acceleration on the muscular system. This survey reviews basic muscle physiology and discusses the possible effects of these space flight stresses on muscle function. Anatomical, biochemical, and electrophysiological methods for evaluating the state of the muscular system are reviewed. A selected annotated bibliography concerned with the effects of weightlessness and acceleration on muscle is also included. (Author).

The book introduces readers to the concept of weightlessness and microgravity, and presents several examples of microgravity research in fluid physics, the material sciences and human physiology. Further, it explains a range of basic physical concepts (inertia, reference frames, mass and weight, accelerations, gravitation and weightiness, free fall, trajectories, and platforms for microgravity research) in simple terms. The last section addresses the physiological effects of weightlessness. The book’s simple didactic approach makes it easy to read: equations are kept to a minimum, while examples and applications are presented in the appendices. Simple sketches and photos from actual space missions illustrate the main content. This book allows readers to understand the space environment that astronauts experience on board space stations, and to more closely follow on-going and future space missions in Earth orbit and to Mars.

"The speed and accuracy of positioning movements as functions of distance, direction, and mass were investigated under simulated weightless conditions. Subjects seated on a frictionless device made blind positioning movements by sliding each of two frictionless masses (1000 or 7000 grams) various distances (10, 20, and 40 cm) either left-to-right or near-to-far. Both speed and accuracy decrease with distance; left-to-right movements take longer, but are more accurate than near-to-far movements. Speed decreases with increased mass. With minor exceptions, the effects are similar to those noted when fixed subjects position weightless objects. The responses of fixed subjects were slower, but more accurate, and were not affected by the variable of mass."--Abstract.

The problems of space flight as they relate to the visual mechanism are disc ssed. Substantial portions of the Brown report are quoted in the present report. This report, in addition to updating the Brown report, presents a considerable amount of additional information regarding specific critical visual problems, as well as a recently compiled, extensive bibliography of research in this field.
