This portal features studies of interest to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a private, nonprofit corporation founded under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Institutional membership includes more than 100 colleges and universities, most in the United States of America.[1] [2] For this effort, USRA is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Human Research Program.
The studies presented here focus on research conducted on NASA vehicles (Skylab, Space Shuttle, International Space Station), on Soviet and Russian space stations (Salyut program, Almaz, and Mir), and in terrestrial laboratories that shed light on human health and performance in space.
