| Abstract: | The review deals with the problem of using artificial gravity in piloted space missions, its history and relevance to the proclaimed goals of remote space exploration. It contains a brief discussion of deconditioning and loss of acceleration tolerance developing in cosmonauts despite a variety of preventive procedures. Key issues pertaining short-arm centrifuge (SAC) design and in-flight utilization are acceleration tolerance, effectiveness and g-prescriptions. The Russian and international literature on SAC experience in ground-based investigations with simulated microgravity effects (immersion, HDT) gives credence to this approach to counteracting the negative physiological effects of microgravity. Open issues and goals to be gained are described. |
