Aims:
Aim 1: Characterize and quantify changes in operationally-relevant sensorimotor and vestibular performance as a function of gravitational load.
Aim 2: Characterize and quantify changes in physiology—particularly in brain function and autonomic activation during behavioral performance—as a function of gravitational load.
Aim 3: Develop a model to predict behavioral performance and neurophysiological responses under different gravitational loads based on preflight ground testing data.

Description:
This task plans to characterize operationally-relevant performance and neurophysiological responses as a function of gravity load.
This work has the potential to identify individuals who are particularly resilient to altered gravity, and will be key for planning future exploration-class missions where survival will depend on the operational capabilities of astronauts in partial gravity environments.
