This edition of Space Physiology and Medicine chronicles the ongoing work of scientists attempting to describe and understand the responses of man and his life processes in the space environment. These changes are largely adaptive in nature; many are benign, others present specific biomedical challenges for physicians attending returning crew members. Throughout the brief history of manned space flight, investigative biomedical research and its attendant development activities have helped in the formulation of engineering and medical criteria for enhancing the safety and health of space crew members.
