Abstract
This article presents the concept of a spatial orientation/motion perceptual system, the contributions of the vestibular receptors to this system, and apparatus and training procedures and observations to allow astronauts to preadapt to weightlessness. The author also discusses perceptual reactions to prolonged weightlessness.
