 Abstract

- As it is difficult to perform biological study in the actual space, several researchers
have tried to develop methods that could ‘mimic’ microgravity condition
on Earth. During the free fall of the aircraft, so-called ‘parabolic flight’, objects
in a plane could experience weightlessness during a short period of time (approximately
20 to 30 seconds). We first reviewed former studies using parabolic flight
in a variety of research filed including vestibular, neurologic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal
and immune system. We also investigated the actual conditions of
biologic research using parabolic flight in Korea, by performing a questionnaire
survey for 19 experts in space biology.
