Aims:
To develop a model of spatial disorientation (SD)
due to microgravity exposure that can be used to familiarize shuttle
pilots with SD symptoms during simulated landings, as well as a training
tool to improve landing performance after space flight.

Description:
This task contributed to gap closure by providing basic information on the characteristics of head and eye movements during simulated orbiter landings and by developing a ground-based analog (galvanic vestibular stimulation) of the effects of microgravity exposure on pilot performance after spaceflight.
