- Summary
- The Extended Duration Orbiter Medical Project was developed to address concerns related to crew safety during the entry, landing, and egress phases of Shuttle missions. The implementation process focused on the use of Detailed Supplementary Objectives (DSOs) with NASA researchers as lead scientists. The Final Report includes reports in eight areas of concern: cardiovascular deconditioning, regulatory physiology, functional performance evaluation, environmental health, neurovestibular dysfunction, assessment of human factors, facilities, and hardware. The report on neurovestibular dysfunction includes studies of motion perception reporting, visual-vestibular integration as a function of adaptation of space flight and return to Earth, recovery of postural equilibrium control following space flight, and the effects of space flight on locomotor control.
