Abstract
The second "aggregation of red cells" experiment that was performed on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space-shuttle Discovery's flight STS 26 confirms the results that were obtained in 1985; however, some new features have come to light, in particular, the observation of a clot or thrombus which, so far, remains unexplained. An attempt has been made to link observations on the cell-to-cell interaction and blood viscosity under zero gravity to some of the problems that are facing astronauts and to some new dimensions in medical science.
