The success of any space flight mission depends not only on
advanced technology but also on the health and well-being of crew
members. This book, written by an astronaut physician, is the first
practical guide to maintaining crew members health in space. It
combines research results with practical advice on such problems as
bone loss, kidney stones, muscle wasting, motion sickness, loss of
balance, orthostatic intolerance, weight loss, and excessive
radiation exposure. Additional topics include pre-flight
preparation, relevant gender differences, long-duration medical
planning, post-flight rehabilitation, and the physiology of
extra-vehicular activity. Designed as a handbook for space crews,
this text is also an invaluable tool for all the engineers, medical
personnel, and scientists who plan and execute space missions.
