Food, Nutrition and the Space Traveler

BEATRICE FINKELSTEIN M.S.1 and ALBERT A. TAYLOR VC, USAF1

1 From the Air Research and Development Command, headquarters at Andrews Air Force Base, Washington, D. C.

Current concepts of feeding during space travel are based on (1) our knowledge of aerodynamic flight feeding requirements, (2) the experiences of crews who have flown high altitude, high performance aircraft and those who have made high altitude balloon flights, and (3) the results of a variety of laboratory studies.7-9 In spite of the wealth of information obtained from these sources, plans for feeding man in space have been designed without knowledge of the stresses produced by confinement in a sealed cockpit while traveling in space. A final determination of nutritional requirements and feeding needs will come only when man goes into space and returns safely to earth.
