This Report shows how the environment of actual flight may be used to simulate many phases of manned space exploration. A number of simu-lations using conventional, modified, and specially built aircraft are discussed in relation to the portion of space flight to which they are generally applicable, that is the launch, orbital, entry, or the landing-approach phase.nInasmuch as this Report is a survey, only the scope of the investi¬gations is indicated;no detailed descriptions of, or conclusions from, the research programs are given. Quantitative results may be extracted from the Papers mentioned in the references.
