Exposure to acceleration during manned spaceflight.

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Space flight is normally associated with exposure to reduced acceleration (microgravity) and the medical consequences are well described. However, it inevitably also requires periods of increased acceleration during ascent and descent. These periods, although short in comparison to the length of the flight, are classified as long-duration by physiologists. The biological consequences for man [text incomplete]
