Skylab biomedical experience indicates that man adapts well to and functions effectively in the space environment for time periods approaching three months. Appropriate dietary intake coupled with adequate, programmed exercise, sleep, work and recreation periods are essential to crew health and well being. No untoward physiological responses have been noted that would preclude longer duration space flights, but more research is required in order to understand the mechanisms involved in the observed responses. Remedial or preventive measures may be required for Mars-type missions, and further study of man in earth orbit for an uninterrupted six-month period should ideally precede this Mars-type mission.
