Scopolamine and d-amphetamine in prevention of motion sickness
Preventing motion sickness in slow rotation room by incremental increases in strength of stimulus
Design manual to prevent electrical breakdown of high voltage equipment in spacecraft
Many liquid-propellant rocket vehicles have experienced longitudinal vibration, nicknamed pogo after the jumping stick, due to an instability arising from interaction of the vehicle structure with the propulsion system. These vibrations can produce an intolerable environment for astronauts and equipment, can overload vehicle structure, and can lead to loss of propulsion performance. A NASA monograph concerned with the prevention of pogo is well on its way toward publication and should serve as a useful guide to design for the Space Shuttle. The paper will briefly describe the nature of the pogo phenomenon, present a summary of past instabilities, relate the possible deleterious effects of pogo, and discuss the contents of the design criteria monograph. Finally, research tasks are recommended for support of pogo development activities on the Space Shuttle.

Sea-level pressure interval to prevent decompression sickness in humans flying in commercial aircraft after diving
Nine-alpha-fluorohydrocortisone preventing bedrest induced orthostatism, considering plasma volume decrease effects on cardiovascular performance
Reflex vestibular disturbances and motion sickness prevention in artificial gravity of rotating space base, by incremental adaptation tests and drugs
Air-bearing-pad principle, combined with monitoring system of the air-bearing force, prevents damage between electrical and mechanical connectors joining a large engine system to the test stand during remote mating. Pad provides a cushion between engine and test stand.
Removable ceramic backup material butted against weld zone back prevents weld metal buildup at that site. Method is successful with manual tungsten-inert gas /TIG/ welding of 316 corrosion resistant steel /CRES/ pieces with 0.76 cm throat diameter and 1.57 cm pipe internal diameter.

Spacecraft-borne high voltage system breakdown prevention by avoiding high electric field and critical gas pressure
High vacuum diffusion pump baffle, positioned immediately above pump stack, prevents vaporized pumping oil from entering and contaminating test chamber. Pumping vapors are collected and condensed on the baffle and flow back to pump base reservoir.
Mixed alkaline earth oxide compounds deposited into hole at cathode surface center prevent ion back bombardment damage to cathode by reducing oxide layer and by creating metallic diffusion along sides of hole for enhanced electron emission.
