An international collaborative project, initiated by the DLR-NASA Life Sciences Working Group, led to the performance of a head-down tilt bedrest (HDT) study at the DLR Institute for Aerospace Medicine. Scientific and operational questions were addressed in preparation for the D-2 Spacelab mission. Principal areas of interest were cardiovascular regulation and fluid/electrolyte metabolism. The results are detailed in a series of 13 reports to which the present paper serves as an introduction.
