.... This will include growing protein crystals, melting metal alloys in a weightless environment and measuring the effects of brain pressure whilst being in space. Being weightless can cause fluid in the body to move, mostly towards the head...
... a year in space and how it adjusts to weightlessness, isolation, radiation and the stress of long-duration ...that individual is exposed to risks such as radiation and weightlessness. Our integrated team of researchers are addressing those risks ...
... been shown in previous studies as well and points toward a redistribution of the fluid within the skull as a result of weightlessness. None of our findings are associated with cognitive function." Like NASA’s Twin study, Jillings and colleagues...
... and the transfer of fluids on the exterior of the International Space Station. This is a major achievement; in space, weightless propellants move in unexpected ways, and anticipating how to transfer these corrosive and hazardous fluids from one...
.... I would like to end with a quote from one of my own space classes: “The space dream will never be weightless, and the science dream has endless energy.”
... push not for a few minutes, like most engines, but rather for months or even years. In the weightless and frictionless conditions of spaceflight, the effect of this thrust can gradually build up to allow the spacecraft to achieve...
