This paper describes some aspects of the theoretical fundamentals and the technical and algorithmic solutions deduced from them for the determination of the oscillatory airway resistance, which served as the basis for the construction of a device designed for the measurement of physiological lung parameters. Some experimental results that were obtained with this device are interpreted and ways for an improvement of the procedure, which at the moment has no alternatives under space conditions, are shown.
