The 38-year period of human space exploration has gained for us a lot of experience in the problem of space motion sickness. The authors collected some causes of space sickness from the literature and from their research results.

Using an earthly model of the effect of microgravitation on the human body, we tried to provide explanations of the origin of space motion sickness
