Developed in consultation with members of the life and physical sciences communities, the guiding principle for the study is to set an agenda for research for the next decade that will allow the use of the space environment to solve complex problems in life and physical sciences so as to deliver both new knowledge and practical benefits for humankind as we become a spacefaring people."--Preface Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Print version record Subject Biology -- Research -- United States Space biology -- Research -- United States Space flight -- Physiological effect -- Research -- United States Biology -- Research Space biology -- Research Space flight -- Physiological effect -- Research United States Form Electronic book Author National Research Council (U.S.).
