What is news?

Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla, who arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) through the Axiom-4 mission, is doing many important experiments. On the 10th day of her flight, she studied how bones react to microgravity. This research can pave the way for better treatment of osteoporosis related to bones on Earth. Apart from this, he also participated in another experiment to monitor radiation risk on ISS.

Use

What did this experiment depend on?

The crew of Axiom-4 found out how bones in space deteriorate and how to recover after coming back to Earth. Researchers are creating a digital twin by analyzing biological processes related to the manufacture, inflammation and growth of bones, which can simulate the astronaut’s response to the bones’ space flight. This individual approach can bring revolutionary changes to the astronaut-health investigation.

Self-reliance

This experiment will create self -sufficient

Shukla also deployed samples for micro algae examination in space. These small organisms can one day to maintain life in space by providing food, fuel and breathable air. This research is important for future long -term space missions, where self -sufficient systems will be important. Shukla, a resident of Lucknow, is a mission pilot for the 14-day ISS mission by Axiom Space. His 3 other astronauts are also involved in this mission.
