KY/EPSCOR: State Match for Year 3 to NASA Grant #NNX07AT58A Research Area I – WKURF 516204–Efficacy of Countermeasures to Cardiovascular Deconditioning in Men and Women During Simulated Moon Explorations

Research Areas: Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Cardiovascular/Respiratory, Space Flight

Departments: Biomedical Engineering

Primary Investigator: Charles Knapp

Abstract. The long-term goal of our proposed project is to develop an easily administered
countermeasure that would mitigate human cardiovascular consequences of physiological
adaptations to microgravity during extended duration missions to the moon and
