  • Title: [Man in the condition of weightlessness (author's transl)].
    Author: Fuchs HS.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1981 Jan 30; 123(5):159-64. PubMed ID: 6780889.
    Abstract:
    In the space flights by the USA and USSR to date adequate experience has been obtained on the adaptation of man to living conditions in space--with the technical assistance of an artificial protective atmosphere in the space ship or space suit--and to the singular factor of "weightlessness" (microgravity, low gravity) and how he re-adjusts again after returning to a gravitational field. There is no ultimate or absolute physiological barrier for long term space flight--with one exception: decalcification of the skeleton. For short space flights, however, space sickness is a serious disorder.
