Note: These nine articles constitute a supplement issue of this journal, entitled: "The NASA Flight Analog Project: Head-down bed rest studies." The articles are the result of the NASA Flight Analogs Project, which was created by NASA JSC and led by J.V. Meck for the "overall objective of using head-down bed rest to evaluate, compare, and refine candidate countermeasures to the greatest extent possible in bed rest studies." A goal of this project is to develop a standard bed rest protocol, thereby permitting better comparisons to be made to space flight studies or to other bed rest studies, and facilitating the assessment of candidate countermeasures. This article and the others may be obtained online without charge.
