iv Introduction
132). The current volume presents some aspects of human response to another
extreme!
As the Executive Editor of this series of monographs, I am as proud to
introduce this volume as I am grateful to the editors and the authors for having
given me the opportunity to do do.
Although humans have been traveling in space for 40 years (since the first flight
of Yuri Gagarin in 1961), for the first 20 or so years only a few scientific studies
were performed in space, and those studies were limited. Given the difficulties
of placing and sustaining humans in that distant and hostile environment, this is
hardly surprising. However, the first flight of the European-built Spacelab module
(a laboratory placed in the cargo bay of the space shuttle) in 1983 provided the
opportunity for well-designed and properly controlled experiments. The pressur-
ized Spacelab module flew 14 times during the period from 1983 to 1998. Of
those 14 flights, 11 carried a significant proportion of physiological experiments,
and 3 of those were dedicated to life sciences research. Many of those flights
carried payload specialists—professional scientists who were recruited because
of their highly specialized knowledge and skills. Spacelab was decommissioned
in 1998, following the Neurolab mission, which carried the most complex series
of life sciences experiments performed in space. In the future, the International
Space Station will provide the opportunity for more elaborate studies in micro-
gravity.
Knowledge of environmental physiology comes from understanding how
the organism reacts to changes in the environment. For example, thermoregula-
tory processes might be studied by raising or lowering ambient temperature.
However, for subjects here on earth, gravity is a constant force that cannot be
eliminated. We know that gravity has a large effect on the behavior between the
top and bottom of the lung in an upright subject. There are substantial vertical
gradients in alveolar size and ventilation, in perfusion, and in gas exchange.
Therefore, we would expect to see large differences in the behavior of the lung
in microgravity. In addition, because the lung presents such a large surface area
to the environment (⬃50–100 m2), it is vulnerable to polluted atmospheres such
as might occur in the closed environment of a spacecraft. Yet none of these
factors are unique to the microgravity environment. People routinely change the
gravitational influence on their lungs every time they lie down, and many terres-
trial dwellers are exposed to both indoor and outdoor atmospheric pollution.
Thus, this volume focuses on using measurements made in the absence of gravity
v
vi Preface
(or, in some cases, at high gravity levels) to understand how the lung is affected
by gravity here on earth. The title Gravity and the Lung: Lessons from Micrograv-
ity reflects this approach.
We had the good fortune to be closely involved with several experiments
on Spacelab, and its demise provides an ideal time to summarize those findings
in the field of respiratory physiology before the transition of the Space Station.
We are grateful to Claude Lenfant, Executive Editor, who agreed to place this
volume in the Lung Biology in Health and Disease series.
It is always challenging to perform first-class experiments in a difficult
environment. Performing studies in space presents numerous difficulties, but the
result is exhilarating. It has been a privilege to participate.
