ABSTRACT
As it is difficult to perform biological study in the actual space, several researchers 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 (approximately 20 to 30 seconds). We first reviewed former studies using parabolic flight in a variety of research filed including vestibular, neurologic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal 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.
