Anthrorack

The previous year ESA's Anthrorack, designed to evaluate adaptation to low gravity by the human body, was successfully flown on Spacelab D2. Additional life sciences data were collected during the flights of STS-61 and STS-66 which carried ESA astronauts Nicollier and Clervoy, respectively. ESA's most extensive manned life sciences program was conducted under the Euromir 94 project when ESA astronaut Merbold spent 29 days on-board the Russian Mir space station performing 15 physiology experiments.
