Pulmonary function in microgravity: Spacelab 4 and beyondThis paper refers principally to the composition gradient of gases within the lung in various conditions of gravity, as revealed by exhaled breath. A rapid gas analyzer-based system has been developed for tests in Spacelab 4. The test sequence and expected results are presented.
