The NASA Space Shuttle Program in connection with the European Spacelab will provide the opportunity for women to participate in space flight as scientist crew members within the 1980's and 1990's. It is, therefore, necessary to examine gynecologic problems which might have to be considered in connection with these activities. Possible problem areas are related to aspects of menstrual cycle, hormone production disturbances, conception, pregnancy, and delivery. Psychological factors concerning the employment of mixed male-female crews must also be taken into account. Approaches for investigating these problems are discussed, giving attention to the conduction of experiments with female animals.
