Abstract
A general review is given of some biological aspects involved in space travel. The following subjects are covered: artificial atmosphere in the space-craft; temperature tolerance of the human body; effects of extra-terrestrial conditions on human vision; radiations in space and their effects on the human body; effects of solar flares on the human body; causes, probabilities, and consequences of impact by small and large meteorites; effects of extended periods of alertness; effects of vibration on the human body; effects of acceleration and deceleration on the human body; simulation of space-flight conditions in terrestrial facilities; short-term and long-range effects of weightlessness on the human body; urination and defecation under weightless conditions; effects of Coriolis forces on the human body; regeneration of air in the spacecraft; preparation and consumption of food by the astronauts; spacesuits; telemetry of biological functions and parameters during spaceflight; training of astronauts; and closed biological-ecological systems for extended space voyages.
