From the introduction: During lunar and planetary missions astronauts will be exposed to magnetic fields which are much less in intensity than the magnetic field on the surface of the Earth. As well, recent technological advances in radiation protection and propulsion have made it possible that astronauts might be subjected to fields of much greater intensity than the Earth's field. This brief review dfefines the characteristics of possible magnetic field exposures in space and examines the biomagnetic literature in an attempt to determine whether or not such exposures could affect astronaut peformance and health. Directions for "space-oriented" research in this area are suggested.
