The three manned Skylab missions resulted in biomedical experiment data in the areas of neurophysiology, musculoskeletal physiology, biochemistry, hematology, cytology, cardiovascular and respiratory metabolic functions: as well as detailed test objectives involving crew health and environment procedures. Major emphasis was placed on results from the last mission, Skylab 4, which covered 84 days of in-flight data collection. Many new norms were defined for normal man living and operating in a unique environment. While man is quite adaptable to this unique environment, many of the changes observed in Skylab require additional research for future flights lasting very long periods of time such as a Mars mission requiring 18 months.
