- 47 -If the astronauts remain in the spacecraft while itis hoisted aboard the recovery vessel, portable biomedicalrecorder will be attached to each one before he leaves thespacecraft, and blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurementswill be taken. Each astronaut then will leave thespacecraft and stand on the ship's deck. Blood pressureand electrocardiogram measurements will be recordedautomatically before, during, and for a short time after thecrew leaves the spacecraft.The astronauts will then go tothe ship's medical facility for the tilt-table tests.- more -
- 48 -GEMINI 4 EXPERIMENTSNASA has scheduled llexperiments for the <strong>Gemini</strong> 4flight. Three of these are medical experiments, four areengineering, two Department of Defense experiments and twoscientific.Medical ExperimentsIn-flight Exercise: Work ToleranceThe astronauts will use a bungee cord to assess theircapacity to do physical work under space flight conditions.The bungee cord requires a 60-pound pull to stretch it to itslimit of one foot. The cord will be held by loops about theastronaut's feet rather than being attached to the floor asin Project Mercury tests.Plans call for each of the <strong>Gemini</strong> 4 astronauts tomakethe 60-pound stretch once per second for a minute at varioustimes during the flight. Heart and respiratory rates and bloodpressure will be taken before and after the exercise forevaluation. Time for heart rate and blood pressure to return topre-work levels following the exercise is an index of thegeneral condition of the astronaut.-more -
