OverviewThis volume examines the medical and associated organizational measures used to maintain the health of space crews and to support their performance before, during, and after space flight. These measures, collectively known as the medical flight support system, are important contributors to the safety and success of space flight. The contributions of space hardware and the spacecraft environment to flight safety and mission success are covered in previous volumes of the Space Biology and Medicine series. Part I of this volume describes the selection and training of astronauts and cosmonauts. Part II discusses pre-, in-, and postflight medical monitoring of crewmembers. Part III regards illness and injury in space and their diagnosis and treatment. Part IV outlines protective or preventive measures provided against the hazards of space flight. Part V considers ergonomic and psychological support aspects of crew activities. Part VI discusses safety issues in human spaceflight. Finally, Part VII presents the benefits of space exploration for humans on Earth as well as concluding remarks. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lawrence F. Dietlein , Igor D.
