Space motion sickness preflight adaptation training:  preliminary studies with prototype trainers.
Preflight training frequently has been proposed as a potential solution to the problem of space motion sickness.  The paper considers successively the otolith reinterpretation, the concept for a preflight adaptation trainer and the research with the Miami University Seesaw, the Wright Patterson Air-Force Base Dynamic Environment Simulator and the Visually Coupled Airborne Systems Simulator prototype adaptation trainers.
