A Laboratory Model for a Fourteen Day Orbital Flight with a Chimpanzee
Abstract
A young male chimpanzee was restrained on a plastic couch and isolated from the usual laboratory distractions for 14 dys. Assuming a 90 minute orbit, the subject performed a complex psychomotor task for approximately nine hours each day and received all of his food and water as rewards for his performance. Skin temperature, pulse, and respiration were monitored throughout the test and urine and feces were collected outside the isolation cubicle and measured. The subject lost no weight for the test period and recovery was rapid.
