This book describes results of the Russian-Austrian RLF project that included Dr. V.V. Polyakov's standing long-term (14 months) space flight world record

Die österreichischen raumfahrtmedizinischen Aktivitäten der Jahre 1992-2002 sind in diesem Buch zusammengefaßt. Das RLF-Projekt hat gezeigt, daß in diesem Forschungssektor auch mit vergleichsweise geringem finanziellem Aufwand bedeutsame wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse erzielt werden können
