Abstract:

This work brings together for the first time a listing of all available reports relating to biological experiments conducted during balloon and rocket flights, with plants, animals, and humans as subjects. This compilation includes a listing of pertinent bibliographies, monographs, technical publications, and periodical articles. Detailed tabulations are given of all known balloon and rocket flights, including such information as flight designation, location, type of experiment, experimental subjects, height, duration, success or failure, investigators, and cross-references to literature. A selective subject index is included, listing experimental material and giving cross-references to literature. Most of the citations are annotated.
