Abstract
A headward fluid shift occurs in microgravity due to the absence of hydrostatic gradients. Different countermeasures have been proposed to decrease related cardiovascular symptoms, like the application of lower body negative pressure (LBNP) in-flight. We have developed an LBNP box with an environmental control system. It aims at improving features of LBNP boxes currently used worldwide.
