It the author's abstract or summary was appropriate, it was utilized. In some cases a more detailed annotation was provided under the subheadings Purpose, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. This volume includes studies published from 1950 through 1996. Author and keyword indices are provided. The material is listed in alphabetical order by first author and numbered consecutively by abstract number, not page number. We thank our many colleagues who sent us reprints, and apologize to those whose work we have inadvertently overlooked. The authors thank Esther Johnson for valuable technical assistance. J.E.G. 1.

These individu- als are exposed to high levels of G-forces, resulting in medical considerations which are not a normal factor with high performance fighter pilots or astro- nauts. The acceleration profiles of the Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin spacecraft were obtained from publicly available data. Video analysis was performed on footage of spacecraft test launches and human centrifuge tests to obtain individual data sets. These data sets were used to develop the acceleration profiles for both spacecraft. Based on the spacecraft's acceleration profiles and peak G-forces, medical conditions were investigated and considered to identify potential risks that may affect the passengers, particularly the elderly.
