Orthostatic challenge produced by upright posture may lead to syncope if the cardiovascular
system is unable to maintain adequate brain perfusion. This review outlines orthostatic …

With the advancement in space exploration and the intention to establish an inhabitable
human settlement on Mars, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to …

Previous studies suggest that altered gravity levels during parabolic flight maneuvers affect
spatial updating. Little is known about the impact of the experimental setting and …

We report on different research and educational activities related to parabolic flights
conducted in Barcelona since 2008. We use a CAP10B single-engine aerobatic aircraft …

Little is known about the effects of low gravity on human gametes. The aim of this study was
to analyze if fresh human sperm samples after fast gravity load changes suffered any …

Purpose Microgravity has severe effects on cellular and molecular structures as well as on
metabolic interactions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of microgravity (μg) …

We report the results of residual acceleration obtained from initial tests of parabolic flights
(more than 100 hours) performed with a small single-engine aerobatic aircraft (CAP10B) …

This work establishes multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as viable microgravity
platforms. Towards this, a vertical microgravity enabling maneuver suitable for multirotors …

Background Postflight orthostatic challenge (OC), resulting from blood pooling in lower
extremities, is a major health concern among astronauts that fly long-duration missions …

One of the biological systems that suffers a physiological de-conditioning in space is the
immune system. It is in charge of defending the body against pathogens and other …
