As it is difficult to perform biological study in the actual space, several resear-chers have tried to develop methods that could ‘mimic’ microgravity condition on Earth. During the free fall of the aircraft, so-called ‘parabolic flight’, objects in a plane could experience weightlessness during a short period of time (approxi-mately 20 to 30 seconds). We first reviewed former studies using parabolic flight in a variety of research filed including vestibular, neurologic, cardiovascular, mus-culoskeletal and immune system. We also investigated the actual conditions of biologic research using parabolic flight in Korea, by performing a questionnaire survey for 19 experts in space biology.Res Vestib Sci 2015;14(2):42-45 |
