Name of Image:
Vectorcardiogram - Skylab Experiment M093
Full Description:
This chart details Skylab's Vectorcardiogram experiment and facility, a medical study to measure the activity of the heart by recording electric signals (vectorcardiographic potentials) of each astronaut during preflight, inflight, and post-flight periods and obtain information on changes in heart functions induced by flight conditions. Vectorcardiograms were taken with a bicycle ergometer (part of Experiment M171) at regular intervals throughout the mission while the crewmen were at rest, and before, during, and after specific exercise periods. This instrument enabled an astronaut to exercise at selected levels of energy consumption. The Marshall Space Flight Center had program management responsibility for the development of Skylab hardware and experiments.
