Provides a survey of studies on muscle of rodents flown in space, and reviews the effects of long-term spaceflight and re-entry on skeletal muscle. This work also discusses the problems of providing life support during extended stay on the Moon, on Mars, or in space by means of plant cultivation. It also presents a teaching of space life sciences.



The many problems of providing life support (oxygen regeneration and food supply) during extended stay on the Moon, on Mars, or in space by means of plant cultivation are discussed by Salisbury. The challenges of utilizing electrophoresis in microgravity for the separation of cells and proteins are illustrated and explained by Bauer and colleagues. Finally, the chapter on teaching of space life sciences by Schmitt shows that this field of science has come of age, but also that its multidisciplinary character poses interesting challenges to teaching it.
