Mental Representation of Spatial Cues During Space Flight (3D-Space) experiment

ISS019-E-012428 (30 April 2009) --- Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, Expedition 19/20 flight engineer, prepares to perform the Mental Representation of Spatial Cues During Space Flight (3D-Space) experiment in the Columbus module of the International Space Station. The experiment is designed to investigate the effects of exposure to microgravity on the mental representation of spatial cues by astronauts during and after spaceflight.
