Several medical and biological problems in the flights of the manned space stations are discussed, including the different atmospheres used in U.S. and U.S.S.R. spacecraft, the problems of transferring crew members between the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft with the different atmospheres, the microbe exchange and fungi experiments on the Soyuz-Apollo mission, and physiological problems on long space flights, including details for the Russian cosmonauts who were on the Soyuz-Apollo and the Soyuz-Salyut flights. Possible applications of the results of space medical research to terrestrial health problems and the future possible colonization of interplanetary space are also discussed. (Author)
