Radiobiological studies relative to manned space flight are reviewed. The prediction of relevant physical parameters, radiation effects and space flight factors, late effects, and heavy effects are discussed. It is concluded that a reliable a priori assessment of the radiobiological risk from longer duration space missions remains as yet a difficult task. The fact that some symptoms of biological injury become manifest only long after exposure is pointed out.
