Selye conceptualized the physiology of stress as having two components : a set of responses which he called the " general adaptation syndrome ", and the development of a pathological state from ongoing, unrelieved stress.

In a microgravity environment such as that provided by a spacecraft in orbit around the Earth, humans experience a sense of " weightlessness . " Short-term exposure to microgravity causes space adaptation syndrome, a self-limiting nausea caused by derangement of the vestibular system.

Scientific experiments carried onboard " Challenger " included the environmental testing of new hardware and materials designed for future spacecraft, the study of biological materials in electric fields under microgravity, and research into space adaptation syndrome ( also known as " space sickness " ).
