Involves the capability to research, investigate and characterize the effects of space flight and exposure to microgravity, radiation, and other stresses on physiological functions (e.g., musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, etc.). In-depth understanding of the human body, its physical and chemical make-up and the associated technology and methods to examine the effects of various environments and stresses. Ability to understand the underlying physiological, behavioral and psychological mechanisms and performance aspects responsible for biomedical and behavioral changes in humans and animals during spaceflight and apply this information to conduct operational and clinical research to develop, and validate countermeasures that will ensure the health, safety and performance of flight crews involved during launches, landings, and while in space.
