Spatial orientation and posture during and following weightlessness: human experiments on Spacelab Life Sciences 1.
The 4 payload crew members of the Spacelab Life Sciences 9-day space flight in 1991 were subjected to limited vestibular testing in flight as well as pre and post flight. Major differences in individual "perceptual style" appeared in their reaction to the visual-vestibular stimuli in the rotating dome experiment, and especially in the extent to which nondirectional tactile cues served to anchor...
متن کاملThermoconvectional phenomena induced by vibrations in supercritical SF6 under weightlessness.
The effect of a linear harmonic vibration on heat propagation is investigated in near-critical SF6 under weightlessness conditions in space. Heat was issued from a pointlike source (thermistor), a situation representative of an industrial use of pressurized supercritical fluid storage. Two kinds of vibrations were used, large amplitude (64 mm) at 0.2 Hz and low amplitude (0.8 mm) at 1.6 Hz, wit...
متن کاملThe labyrinthine posture reflex (righting reflex) in the cat during weightlessness.
LTHOUGH it is generally accepted that linear acceleration is the physical stimulus for the otolith organ, its function during periods of increased and decreased gravity has not been ~ l a r i f i e d . ~ , ~ J ~ In 1952, SlaterlG discussed the probable response of the otoliths to the weightless condition by drawing some tentative conclusion from morphologic data and electrophysiologic experimen...
متن کاملPattern Evolution during Double Liquid-Vapor Phase Transitions under Weightlessness.
Phase transition in fluids is ubiquitous in nature and has important applications in areas such as the food industry for volatile oils' extraction or in nuclear plants for heat transfer. Fundamentals are hampered by gravity effects on Earth. We used direct imaging to record snapshots of phase separation that takes place in sulfur hexafluoride, SF₆, under weightlessness conditions on the Interna...
متن کاملWeightlessness and skeleton homeostasis.
As human beings venture into space in the 21st century, they will be confronted with a "hypodynamic" and thus hostile environment for the bone homeostasis, that could potentially compromise their mobility in general and skeletal strength in particular after landing. From this point of view, space flight studies are especially interesting and intriguing models for scientists. Space studies, howe...
