This historic but still very interesting
and illustrative thesis provides the knowledge on spaceflight medicine a year
after Sputnik. It gives an overview of all medical aspects: physiology, psychology,
but also the interaction with spacecraft engineering. At times you will encounter
romantic, philosophical and humorous passages. Besides the 'Summary' this thesis
is in the Dutch language.
In 1960 an English version of the thesis was published in the series 'Elsevier
Monographs' entitled: 'A Primer of Space Medicine' with a foreword by Werner
von Braun. We look into the possibility to publish this version as well (JvL).
