The physiological data that provide the most accurate description of the medical problems encountered during long term space flight, and data indicating a need for countermeasures to ameliorate the safety of astronauts, are ascertained. Ground studies that will best serve as a basis for future flight protocols are discussed. Physical countermeasures used during past safe flights are listed and new approaches are proposed. The need for long term bed rest studies necessary to gain more fundamental knowledge about the adaptive processes that occur during weightlessness, and to validate the ability of various proposed countermeasures to counteract these mechanisms is indicated.
