L'apesanteur est un des facteurs essentiels de l'environnement spatial. Les vols spatiaux entraînent ainsi des modifications physiologiques et le système cardiovasculaire est un des plus concernés. Le passage en microgravité, du fait de la suppression du gradient de pression hydrostatique (disparition de la composante gravitationnelle de la pression hydrostatique), aboutit à une redistribution de la masse sanguine et des liquides extra-cellulaires à prédominance thoraco-céphalique. La redistribution liquidienne se traduit par des signes cliniques objectifs (œème de la face et des paupières, turgescence des veines superficielles du cou et de l'extrémité céphalique, injection vasculaire sclérale et gingivale, aspect caractéristique des membres inférieurs en «jambes de poulet») et subjectifs (céphalées, impression de rhume permanent, diminution des sensations gustatives) qui s'observent surtout les premiers jours de vol.  1, record 2, French, - %26oelig%3Bd%C3%A8me%20de%20la%20face

NASA normally uses the Vomit Comet to train astronauts, test equipment and carry out experiments. The fun starts when the plane noses over into a steep dive, creating a free fall that simulates the weightlessness of outer space. But the price for 30 seconds of floating fun is sudden, equal doses of two Gs, or a doubling of Earth’s gravity. It’s the sudden reversal that causes many passengers to lose their lunch.  4, record 4, English, - Vomit%20Comet

A part of the International Space Station that Japan is responsible for is an experiment module named "Kibo, "or "hope" in Japanese... Kibo will consist of a Pressurized Module, an Exposed Facility, an Experiment Logistics Module-Pressurized Section, an Experiment Logistics Module-Exposed Section, and a Remote Manipulator System.... The Exposed Facility is an experimental platform aimed for various tests with the instruments directly exposed to outer space. Experiments such as material tests, Earth observation, measurement of the space environment, communications tests, etc. are planned to be conducted on this facility to make use of vacuum and the weightless space environment. Being the Space Station's only laboratory in such an environment exposed to space, Japan's Kibo has already received high expectations for its performance. Among other segments of Kibo, an air lock connects between the Exposed Facility and Pressurized Module to exchange experimental instruments and materials under controlled air pressure.  6, record 7, English, - Japanese%20experiment%20module%20%2D%20exposed%20facility

Also included, is a urification system, environmental controls, television monitoring, a 5-ton capacity overhead crane, a test director, and medical support personnel... The WETF is a controlled neutral buoyancy facility used to simulate the conditions of weightlessness for astronaut training. It provides for the evaluation of body restraints, handholds, and extravehicular activity(EVA) equipment; for the development of crew procedures and for the determination of EVA capabilities and workload limits. The facility provides high fidelity simulations of crew on-orbit operations in a controlled environment and substantially reduces human risks when performing EVA operations.  2, record 8, English, - weightless%20environment%20training%20facility

Environment Control and Life Support System(ECLSS) : The orbiter's Environmental Control and Life-Support System purifies the cabin air, adds fresh oxygen, keeps the pressure at sea level, heats and cools the air, and provides drinking and wash water. The system also includes lavatory facilities. The cabin is pressurized to sea level(14. 7 psi) with 21 percent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen, comparable to Earth's atmosphere. The air is circulated through lithium hydroxide/charcoal canisters which remove carbon dioxide. The canisters are changed on a regular basis. Excess heat from the cabin and flight-deck electronics is collected by a circulating coolant water system and transferred to radiator panels on the payload bay doors where it is dissipated. The fuel cells produce about seven pounds of water each hour. It is stored in tanks, and excess water is dumped overboard. The lavatory unit collects and processes body waste, and also collects wash water from the personal hygiene station. The lavatory unit, located in the middeck area, operates much like those on commercial airlines but is designed for a weightless space environment.  3, record 9, English, - environment%20control%20and%20life%20support%20system
