NASA: SpaceX Crew-12 Mission to Study Astronauts’ Adaptation to Gravity
The Crew-12 team will investigate astronauts’ adaptation to low gravity and related health effects during a long-duration mission aboard the International Space Station.
According to NASA, the agency’s SpaceX Crew-12 mission is preparing for a long-duration scientific mission aboard the International Space Station. Selected astronauts will take part in studies examining how the human body adapts to low gravity.
The “Venous Flow” study examines changes in blood flow and clotting risk in space, while the “Manual Piloting” study measures adaptation to gravity transitions and piloting skills during simulated lunar landings. Astronauts will undergo preflight and postflight MRI, ultrasound, blood tests, and blood pressure checks; during flight, jugular vein ultrasound, blood sampling, and blood pressure measurements will be conducted.
In addition, the effects of vitamin B supplementation on spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) and potential landing-related injuries will be studied. The data collected will help develop strategies to protect astronaut health during long-duration missions and future Artemis missions.
