Abstract

In October 1991 the first Austrian cosmonaut spent one week on board the Soviet space station MIR. One of the 14 experiments carried out there was AKG's AUDIMIR, a psychoacoustics technological experiment. AUDIMIR was designed to investigate the accuracy of directional hearing and its role as part of the human orientation system at microgravity.
