The results of an experiment with human erythroleukemic cells K-562 exposed to cosmic radiation on a stratospheric balloon flight are presented. The advantages offered by sounding rockets to short-term biological investigations in microgravity are discussed. It is recommended that ESA and national agencies organize more opportunities for experiments in balloons and sounding rockets for investigators in life sciences, as a complement for studies performed in Spacelab, in free flyers, and in the Space Station. Results show that hemoglobin synthesis is reduced by microgravity and cosmic radiation.
