Beyond LEO
The effects of microgravity conditions on neurovestibular, cardiovascular,
musculoskeletal, bone metabolic, and hemato-immunological systems are
described. We discuss “space motion sickness,” sensorimotor coordination disorders, cardiovascular deconditioning, muscular atrophy, bone loss, and anemia/
immunodeficiency, including their causes and mechanisms. In addition to the
previously described deconditioning, new problems related to microgravity,
spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), and structural changes of
the brain by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also explained.
