Aims:
- To develop efficient means of adapting astronauts
safely to repeated transitions into and out of AG without excessive
motion sickness.
- To understand the side-effects caused by
cross-coupled stimulation that produce motion sickness and could
interfere with cognitive and motor function.

Description:
This task contributed to gap closure by providing evidence that after a period of adaptation while rotating at 23 rpm, rapid head movements are tolerable for at least 75% of normal subjects. Most of the adaptation can be accomplished within two or three exposures of 20-30 minutes while rotating, spread out over 3 days.
