A rat suspension model to simulate the effects of weightlessness was developed by U.S. researchers coincident with U.S. involvement in Cosmos-satellite studies. This paper presents some preliminary data dealing with weight gain, food consumption, and bone formation in the rat model as compared with data from the Cosmos 782 and 936 experiments. It is shown that significant changes in bone formation rates may occur during a space flight lasting only five days.
