Summary

"The success of any spaceflight 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 preflight preparation, relevant gender differences, long-duration medical planning, postflight rehabilitation, and the physiology of extravehicular 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."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
