The current status of experiments performed under space flight conditions using animals as subjects is reviewed and summarized. Some potential experimental approaches to study the behavioral responses and acclimatization of animals to the space environment are proposed. Future areas of required behavioral research are presented, and some of the peculiarities associated with the development of a life science experiment and its equipment specifically for behavioral studies in space are shown. The following are also advertized: the availability of the space environment to the European behavioral science community, to encourage behavioral scientists to think in terms of experimentation under microgravity conditions and to stimulate them in generating new ideas and proposals for flight experiments.
