What's working in space: a microgravity status report

Article Abstract:

STS-40 is the first manned space mission in which experiments in cardiovascular, cardiopulmonary, neurovestibular and human and rodent physiology were conducted. The space biomedical research, which was conducted in Jun 1991, inspired more life sciences and microgravity research programs conducted on shuttle flights.
