The problems faced by cosmonauts in space are unique
in many respects. Isolation, prolonged inactivity, the
need to be constantly alert, weightlessness – all of these
factors create frequently unusual sensations and illusions
which cannbe dangerous if the cosmonaut does not recognize
the problem and deal adequately with it. The work contains
abstracts of numerous Soviet papers on spacecraft simulator
experiments involving isolation, hypokinesia, and other
stressful situations.
