NASA’s astronauts share their work while living on ISS
NASA’s astronauts with ISS Today talk about the experiences they do to help humanity to hope that they will travel deep into space.
- Star liner’s astronauts Sun Williams and Boch Vilmur will return to Earth Thursday evening after nine unexpected months at the International Space Station.
- Although astronauts may be ready to become home, their bodies will need time to adjust the ground environment and gravity.
NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, astronauts Sunny Williams and Boat Vilmor’s family are returning home nine months after farewell to friends, fellow astronauts and supporters. Although astronauts may be waiting for solid soil, it may take some time to adjust their body and brains.
Early on Tuesday morning, Williams and Vilmor, commonly known as Star Liner astronauts, boarded a Space X dragon capsule at the International Space Station and started their journey back to Earth. They are expected to return to the coast of Florida on Thursday evening, before 6pm, before 6pm.
What to know here is how the bodies of Williams and Vilmor will adjust life to the surface of the earth.
Bye -bye
Although research on skin pressure from long -term flights has been largely contradictory, scientists certainly know one thing: itching, irritation and dryness of the skin in astronauts. Bio -Medicines.
These problems are related to the hygiene environment at the International Space Station, which is limited to liquid soap, small amounts of water and minimal shampoo. National wind and space museum. After soap and water, the astronauts use towels to erase any excess water, and the flow system that is left nearby makes the flow system vapors, because no water is wasted at the space station.
Bio -Madison reports that other factors, such as temperature, limited air circulation, low moisture levels and bioxers and tapes, can also affect astronaut skin.
Short and long-term effects of neuro-ocular syndrome associated with spacelight
While at the International Space Station, especially for a long time, astronauts may experience puff faces or eyes, which symbolizes the neuro-ocular syndrome associated with the space flight, or SANS.
Neuro-Ocular Syndrome associated with Space Flight In fact, there is a variety of different symptoms that are found in astronauts who have endured long -term space flights. There are many different factors of living in space, which include savalad fluid shift (shift of physiological fluids due to lack of gravity), intracelline pressure (excess pressure in the brain) and a change in the lymphocate drainage system. American Academy of Opthemology.
All these symptoms, and others, can result in a nearby vision, headache and a reduction in the eyes, some of which can be named.
According to Nasa70 % of the astronauts of the International Space Station have experienced some kind of SAN symptoms.
Although astronauts may only experience these symptoms in space, but some changes are permanent, according to Nasa. Research on the long-term effects of neuro-ocular syndrome-related spacelight is underway.
Standing hardships with the help of Earth’s gravity
Although some space light effects can return to the ground, it may take longer to handle the other. When returning to Earth, some astronauts face orthostatic intolerance, difficulty in standing or walking as a result of light heading or unconscious Nasa.
Orthostic intolerance occurs when a astronaut’s body has difficulty adjusting the earth’s gravity. On the ground, the physical fluids are erected in the lower body, but in the micrograde, which is at the International Space Station, the physical fluids of astronauts begin to move toward the upper part of the body and the head.
When a astronaut suddenly returns to the gravity of the Earth, the fluids quickly lead to the bottom of the body, leaving the head very fast.
Emotional obstacles
Physical changes are not just those who can expect astronauts to return to solid earth.
Cleveland Clinic psychologist Susan Albers said that a change of astronauts that could experience is sensory overload.
“After months in the calm, controlling environment of space, sensory changes may be very much feel, gravity can be strange and distress, natural sunlight can be very bright, and even everyday aroma may feel like grass or food.” “It takes time to make these feelings a habit.
Albus said it could also be difficult to go back to the “normal” routine. Since life at the International Space Station is quite organized, with a strict schedule of food, exercise and working, astronauts can be overwhelmed by a more flexible life environment.
“For example, a astronaut who is accustomed to eating at the same time can be difficult to adjust during family eating hours, which cannot be predicted,” said Albers, said.
Although Albus has not worked directly with any astronauts during his time at the Cleveland Clinic, he recommends that Williams and Vilmor prefer to adjust their basic needs when returning home: gold and food. Although it may seem easy, he said, these are the foundations for welfare and stability.
What happened to Star Liner astronauts?
Williams and Vilmor Boeing were the first tested flight of the star liner’s star liner, who arrived at the International Space Station in June 2024. Their purpose was to stay only for a few days but it was not long before their arrival, NASA and Boeing engineers discovered technical problems with the spacecraft, which left the ground back on the star liner.
In September, Williams and Vilmor saw when the star liner removed the space station and moved back to the ground without them.
Instead of issuing an emergency mission to return the two astronauts, NASA decided to keep Williams and Vilmor at the space station so that it had a full staff.
Despite being more months than expected to establish their stay, astronauts have only spoken positively about their time in orbit. In an exclusive interview with the USA Today earlier this year, Williams and Vilmor shared the profound effects of testifying to the earth and the universe from the International Space Station. Both also insisted that their extension form “Stuck” At the station, as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, voiced.
On Saturday night, Space X staff arrived at -10 International Space Station, to replace both Williams and Vilmor and provide back home. The new staff will stay at the space station for six months, fulfilling scientific experiments.
