Overview

This is part of an annual series of books on progress in the field of space biology research. The field is rapidly developing; on the one hand because of the need to provide safety for astronauts during long-term space missions; on the other hand because space missions provide a unique opportunity to study the effects of gravity and other space conditions on living organisms.
