Decreased thin filament density and length in human atrophic soleus muscle fibers after spaceflight. (1/72)

Soleus muscle fibers were examined electron microscopically from pre- and postflight biopsies of four astronauts orbited for 17 days during the Life and Microgravity Sciences Spacelab Mission (June 1996). Myofilament density and spacing were normalized to a 2. 4-microm sarcomere length. Thick filament density ( approximately 1, 062 filaments/microm(2)) and spacing ( approximately 32.5 nm) were unchanged by spaceflight. Preflight thin filament density (2, 976/microm(2)) decreased significantly (P < 0.01) to 2,215/microm(2) in the overlap A band region as a result of a 17% filament loss and a 9% increase in short filaments. Normal fibers had 13% short thin filaments. The 26% decrease in thin filaments is consistent with preliminary findings of a 14% increase in the myosin-to-actin ratio. Lower thin filament density was calculated to increase thick-to-thin filament spacing in vivo from 17 to 23 nm. Decreased density is postulated to promote earlier cross-bridge detachment and faster contraction velocity. Atrophic fibers may be more susceptible to sarcomere reloading damage, because force per thin filament is estimated to increase by 23%.  (+info)

Space flight is associated with rapid decreases of undercarboxylated osteocalcin and increases of markers of bone resorption without changes in their circadian variation: observations in two cosmonauts. (2/72)

BACKGROUND: Microgravity induces bone loss by mechanism(s) that remain largely unknown. METHODS: We measured biochemical markers related to bone remodeling in two cosmonauts before, during, and after 21- and 180-day space flights, respectively. RESULTS: During both flights, type I procollagen propeptide and bone alkaline phosphatase decreased as early as 8 days after launch. Undercarboxylated osteocalcin percentage increased early and remained high during both flights. Vitamin K supplementation restored carboxylation of osteocalcin during the long-term flight. Urinary and serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) increased as early as day 8 of the flights; the increase was greater in serum than in urine. Pyridinoline, free deoxypyridinoline, and N-telopeptide increased less than CTX during the short-term space flight. The circadian rhythm of bone resorption assessed by urine CTX and free deoxypyridinoline was not altered by microgravity. CONCLUSION: Vitamin K metabolism or action and bone remodeling may be altered in cosmonauts.  (+info)

Reactivation and shedding of cytomegalovirus in astronauts during spaceflight. (3/72)

The reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in 71 astronauts was investigated, using polymerase chain reaction. A significantly greater (P<.0001) shedding frequency was found in urine samples from astronauts before spaceflight (10.6%) than in urine from the healthy control subject group (1.2%). Two of 4 astronauts studied during spaceflight shed CMV in urine. A significant increase (P<.0001) in CMV antibody titer, compared with baseline values, was also found 10 days before spaceflight. CMV antibody titer was further increased (P<.001) 3 days after landing, compared with 10 days before the mission. Significant increases in stress hormones were also found after landing. These results demonstrate that CMV reactivation occurred in astronauts before spaceflight and indicate that CMV may further reactivate during spaceflight.  (+info)

Effects of long-term spaceflight on mechanical properties of muscles in humans. (4/72)

The effects of long-term spaceflight (90-180 days) on the contractile and elastic characteristics of the human plantarflexor muscles were studied in 14 cosmonauts before and 2-3 days after landing. Despite countermeasures practiced aboard, spaceflight was found to induce a decrease in maximal isometric torque (17%), whereas an index of maximal shortening velocity was found to increase (31%). In addition, maximal muscle activation evaluated during isokinetic tests decreased by 39%. Changes in musculotendinous stiffness and whole joint stiffness were characterized by means of quick-release movements and sinusoidal perturbations. Musculotendinous stiffness was found to be increased by 25%. Whole joint stiffness decreased under passive conditions (21%), whereas whole joint stiffness under active conditions remained unchanged after spaceflight (-1%). This invariance suggests an adaptive mechanism to counterbalance the decrease in stiffness of passive structures by an increased active stiffness. Changes in neural drive could participate in this equilibrium.  (+info)

Static and dynamic postural control in long-term microgravity: evidence of a dual adaptation. (5/72)

The adaptation of dynamic movement-posture coordination during forward trunk bending was investigated in long-term weightlessness. Three-dimensional movement analysis was carried out in two astronauts during a 4-mo microgravity exposure. The principal component analysis was applied to joint-angle kinematics for the assessment of angular synergies. The anteroposterior center of mass (CM) displacement accompanying trunk flexion was also quantified. The results reveal that subjects kept typically terrestrial strategies of movement-posture coordination. The temporary disruption of joint-angular synergies observed at subjects' first in-flight session was promptly recovered when repetitive sessions in flight were analyzed. The CM anteroposterior shift was consistently <3-4 cm, suggesting that subjects could dynamically control the CM position throughout the whole flight. This is in contrast to the observed profound microgravity-induced disruption of the quasi-static body orientation and initial CM positioning. Although this study was based on only two subjects, evidence is provided that static and dynamic postural control might be under two separate mechanisms, adapting with their specific time course to the constraints of microgravity.  (+info)

Effect of long-duration spaceflight on postural control during self-generated perturbations. (6/72)

This report is the first systematic evaluation of the effects of prolonged weightlessness on the bipedal postural control processes during self-generated perturbations produced by voluntary upper limb movements. Spaceflight impacts humans in a variety of ways, one of which is compromised postflight postural control. We examined the neuromuscular activation characteristics and center of pressure (COP) motion associated with arm movement of eight subjects who experienced long-duration spaceflight (3--6 mo) aboard the Mir space station. Surface electromyography, arm acceleration, and COP motion were collected while astronauts performed rapid unilateral shoulder flexions before and after spaceflight. Subjects generally displayed compromised postural control after flight, as evidenced by modified COP peak-to-peak anterior-posterior and mediolateral excursion, and pathlength relative to preflight values. These changes were associated with disrupted neuromuscular activation characteristics, particularly after the completion of arm acceleration (i.e., when subjects were attempting to maintain upright posture in response to self-generated perturbations). These findings suggest that, although the subjects were able to assemble coordination modes that enabled them to generate rapid arm movements, the subtle control necessary to maintain bipedal equilibrium evident in their preflight performance is compromised after long-duration spaceflight.  (+info)

Functional and structural adaptations of skeletal muscle to microgravity. (8/72)

Our purpose is to summarize the major effects of space travel on skeletal muscle with particular emphasis on factors that alter function. The primary deleterious changes are muscle atrophy and the associated decline in peak force and power. Studies on both rats and humans demonstrate a rapid loss of cell mass with microgravity. In rats, a reduction in muscle mass of up to 37% was observed within 1 week. For both species, the antigravity soleus muscle showed greater atrophy than the fast-twitch gastrocnemius. However, in the rat, the slow type I fibers atrophied more than the fast type II fibers, while in humans, the fast type II fibers were at least as susceptible to space-induced atrophy as the slow fiber type. Space flight also resulted in a significant decline in peak force. For example, the maximal voluntary contraction of the human plantar flexor muscles declined by 20-48% following 6 months in space, while a 21% decline in the peak force of the soleus type I fibers was observed after a 17-day shuttle flight. The reduced force can be attributed both to muscle atrophy and to a selective loss of contractile protein. The former was the primary cause because, when force was expressed per cross-sectional area (kNm(-2)), the human fast type II and slow type I fibers of the soleus showed no change and a 4% decrease in force, respectively. Microgravity has been shown to increase the shortening velocity of the plantar flexors. This increase can be attributed both to an elevated maximal shortening velocity (V(0)) of the individual slow and fast fibers and to an increased expression of fibers containing fast myosin. Although the cause of the former is unknown, it might result from the selective loss of the thin filament actin and an associated decline in the internal drag during cross-bridge cycling. Despite the increase in fiber V(0), peak power of the slow type I fiber was reduced following space flight. The decreased power was a direct result of the reduced force caused by the fiber atrophy. In addition to fiber atrophy and the loss of force and power, weightlessness reduces the ability of the slow soleus to oxidize fats and increases the utilization of muscle glycogen, at least in rats. This substrate change leads to an increased rate of fatigue. Finally, with return to the 1g environment of earth, rat studies have shown an increased occurrence of eccentric contraction-induced fiber damage. The damage occurs with re-loading and not in-flight, but the etiology has not been established.  (+info)

United States Astronaut Badge - WikipediaUnited States Astronaut Badge - Wikipedia
In addition to the astronaut badge, which is worn on a military uniform, an astronaut pin is also issued to all NASA astronauts. It is a lapel pin, worn on civilian clothing. The pin is issued in two grades, silver and gold, with the silver pin awarded to candidates who have successfully completed astronaut training and the gold pin to astronauts who have actually flown in space. Astronaut candidates are given silver pins but are required to purchase the gold pin at a cost of approximately $400.[17] A unique astronaut pin was made for NASA astronaut Deke Slayton in 1967. It was gold in color, like the ones given to astronauts who had flown, and it had a small diamond embedded in the star. It was made at the request of the crew of the first manned mission of the Apollo program as a tribute to Slaytons work at NASA. The idea was that everyone in the Astronaut Office had thought Slayton would never get to fly in space (due to his paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; he would later fly on board the ...

The image of the first untethered spacewalk - a man in a spacesuit, floating at an angle above Earth - is among the most iconic of manned spaceflights. The man who made that spacewalk in 1984 was astronaut Bruce McCandless II. His son, Bruce McCandless III, has released a book called Wonders All Around: The Incredible True Story of Astronaut Bruce McCandless II and the First Untethered Flight in Space.. McCandless told Texas Standard that people seeing the spacewalk in 1984 had only grainy video images. Later, NASA released a high-quality image, taken of his father by his crewmate, Robert Hoot Gibson.. Its a pretty magnificent, sort of iconic, image, McCandless said. Terrifying and beautiful at the same time.. Bruce McCandless II became an astronaut in the 1960s, but the 1984 spacewalk occurred on his first mission, aboard the space shuttle Challenger, 18 years after he joined the astronaut program.. He wasnt as polished as some of the astronauts, McCandless said. He was a brilliant ...

MRIs before and after space missions reveal that astronauts brains compress and expand during spaceflight, according to a University of Michigan study. The findings could have applications for treating other health conditions that affect brain function, says principal investigator Rachael Seidler, U-M professor of kinesiology and psychology. The study, believed to be the first to examine structural changes that take place in astronauts brains during spaceflight, found that the volume of gray matter increased or decreased, and the extent of the alteration depended on the length of time spent in space. Seidler and colleagues examined structural MRIs in 12 astronauts who spent two weeks as shuttle crew members, and 14 who spent six months on the International Space Station. All experienced increases and decreases in gray matter in different parts of the brain, with more pronounced changes the longer the astronauts spent in space. We found large regions of gray matter volume decreases, which ...

Study Finds Cause of Visual Impairment in AstronautsStudy Finds Cause of Visual Impairment in Astronauts
Over the last decade, flight surgeons and scientists at NASA began seeing a pattern of visual impairment in astronauts who flew long-duration space missions. The astronauts had blurry vision, and further testing revealed, among several other structural changes, flattening at the back of their eyeballs and inflammation of the head of their optic nerves. The syndrome, known as visual impairment intracranial pressure (VIIP), was reported in nearly two-thirds of astronauts after long-duration missions aboard the International Space Station (ISS).. People initially didnt know what to make of it, and by 2010 there was growing concern as it became apparent that some of the astronauts had severe structural changes that were not fully reversible upon return to earth, said study lead author Noam Alperin, Ph.D., professor of radiology and biomedical engineering at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Fla.. Scientists previously believed that the primary source of the problem was a ...

New European Spacesuit Squeezes Astronauts Into Shape - ABC NewsNew European Spacesuit Squeezes Astronauts Into Shape - ABC News
Your mother probably told you to sit up straight or youll end up a hunchback. But doing so in space without gravity to guide the way is another matter entirely. In order to keep astronauts posture in check, researchers at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) have designed a new type of suit to wear while up in space, called Skinsuit. Simon Evetts, the lead of the Medical Projects and Technology Team at EAC, said that the Skinsuit exerts force on its wearer from the shoulders towards the feet. It looks like a tight-fitting Lycra suit you might find at Olympic swimming pools, he told ABC News. Theyre individually tailored, so that the right amount of force is provided to each astronaut. Ultimately, it comes down to simulating the force an astronaut feels on Earth to keep their skeletons healthy. When were on Earth and we walk or run, we put weight on our bones that cause the different cellular processes to signal bone formation to occur, said International Space Station engineer Mamta ...

Space flight changes astronauts brains, research reveals | U-M LSA Department of PsychologySpace flight changes astronauts brains, research reveals | U-M LSA Department of Psychology
Researchers looked at MRI scans from 27 astronauts. Thirteen had flown on the Space Shuttle for a couple weeks, and 14 had spent about six months on the International Space Station. What they found was that the volume of grey matter in the astronaut brains actually decreased.. We found large regions of gray matter volume decreases, which could be related to redistribution of cerebrospinal fluid in space, Rachael Seidler, a professor of kinesiology and psychology at the University of Michigan, said in a statement. Gravity is not available to pull fluids down in the body, resulting in so-called puffy face in space. This may result in a shift of brain position or compression.. But thats not the full story.. They also detected increases in grey matter in the space travelers brains in the regions that are tied to leg movement and sensation. Astronauts, of course, use their legs differently in microgravity than they do down on Earth.. The results are evidence of the brains plasticity- that it ...

Designing Spacesuits with Better Mobility for Astronauts - RedorbitDesigning Spacesuits with Better Mobility for Astronauts - Redorbit
Space suits for astronauts may get a new and better design following a University of Houston doctoral students locomotion stability research. Melissa Scott-Pandorf is a Fellow of the Texas Space Grant Consortium.. NASAs mission to send humans back to the Moon is closer to a reality every day, Scott-Pandorf, a doctoral student in the UH Department of Health and Human Performance, said. Astronauts will need to travel easily over the planets terrain, meaning their mobility will be important for overall mission success.. To begin her study, Scott-Pandorf looked at hours and hours of lunar moon-walk video to determine how fast and how far astronauts traveled wearing all of the needed equipment. That information, combined with metabolic indicators collected while the astronauts worked on the lunar surface, was used to calculate the amount of energy expelled while walking on the moon. Scott-Pandorf said this is valuable information that will help NASA officials decide how much is too much to ...

Astronaut Robert Thirsk will be heading to the ISS in May 2009 for a 6-month stay to help out Expedition 19/20. Astronaut Frank DeWinne also be joining him. They will leave onboard a Russian Soyuz (19S). With the help of Dr. Guilles Clement, a renowned neuroscientist, we will be proposing an educational project for Astronaut Thirsk and DeWinne to perform. Our project will be to determine the effect the space environment has on the astronauts when they view 2D and 3D ambiguous figures. What are ambiguous figures? Figures that allow for more than one perceptual interpretation, each of which is accurate. So we need to fine-tune a software that will present the figures and record data they are selecting, develop crew procedures, and complete some other documentation by the end of the month. Were a team of about 15 students, and it is intended to have the ISU students of next summer interpret the data. Now, were not certain that our project will get approved, but there is a pretty good chance. ...

For FEV1, male astronauts younger than 35 years of age show a higher level than the corresponding comparison group. This advantage was virtually gone by the next age group, as both male astronauts and comparisons show almost identical FEV1 values for ages 35-64 years. Only in the oldest age group did male astronauts have higher FEV1 levels than the comparisons again. Female astronauts younger than 35 years of age have a lower mean FEV1 value than the female comparisons. However, their FEV1 values decline less steeply with age as compared to those of the comparisons, so that female astronauts of the 40-59 years age group show a slightly higher value of FEV as compared to female comparisons in the same age group. Similar aging trends are also observed for the astronauts and comparisons for their FVC values, though the decline rates for all male participants are less steep as compared to their decline of FEV1 values with age.

The loss of bone and muscle mass, variation in behavior, and body-wide alterations initiated by a changing nervous system are some of the most apparent and potentially detrimental effects of microgravity. Loss of bone mass is particularly noticeable because it affects an astronauts ability to move and walk in space and return to Earths gravity. Astronauts spend much of their days floating and propelling themselves with their arms, which eliminates the need for bones, as they are used in standing and walking on Earth.. For these reasons, exercise is an imperative part of any astronauts daily routine. It slows the rate of reduction of bone mass, and keeps the crew healthy and ready for any physical challenge they may face in space. Lets Begin ...

Penn Medicine Team Develops Cognitive Test Battery to Assess the Impact of Long Duration Spaceflights on Astronauts Brain...Penn Medicine Team Develops Cognitive Test Battery to Assess the Impact of Long Duration Spaceflights on Astronauts Brain...
PHILADELPHIA - Space is one of the most demanding and unforgiving environments. Human exploration of space requires astronauts to maintain consistently high levels of cognitive performance to ensure mission safety and success, and prevent potential errors and accidents. Despite the importance of cognitive performance for mission success, little is known about how cognition is affected by prolonged spaceflight, and what aspects of cognition are primarily affected.. Now, Penn Medicine researchers are poised to help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) close this knowledge gap. They have developed a cognitive test battery, known as Cognition, for the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) to measure the impact of typical spaceflight stressors (like microgravity, radiation, confinement and isolation, exposure to elevated levels of CO2, and sleep loss) on cognitive performance. This computer-based test has already been tested by astronauts on Earth. It will be ...

It is impossible to get to Mars or to travel elsewhere in space without risk. How radiation affects astronauts is an important question. But worrying excessively about what the after-effects of travel might be saddles would-be pioneers with the bureaucratic mentality of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Such safeguarding is necessary on Earth to protect workers who may be exploited by their employers-but it is a millstone weighting down highly educated astronauts who voluntarily take seats atop huge tanks of explosives that propel them to space. (It would be another issue if astronauts risked being stricken with Alzheimers while behind the controls of a spacecraft, but there is no evidence from this study that suggests the response, even of the susceptible mice, is immediate.). ...

Weightlifting on ISS Mitigating Bone LossWeightlifting on ISS Mitigating Bone Loss
NASA astronaut Sandy Magnus works out on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device aboard the International Space Station. Image Credit: NASA. A new study of 13 International Space Station astronauts suggests a combination of strenuous weightlifting-like exercise and careful attention to diet and nutrition can stave off the bone loss long thought by experts to be an obstacle to long missions by astronauts to deep space destinations.. The study of nine men and four women assigned to the orbiting science laboratory between 2006 and 2009 was focused on the addition of the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device in late 2008..

How fishes will help futur astronauts in space | NewsActivistHow fishes will help futur astronauts in space | NewsActivist
by Tachim on September 16, 2017 - 6:08pm On September 14th 2017, Melissa Gaskill who is working at the International Space Station Program Office, wrote an article about how transparent fish called Medaka could help researchers find a solution to the bone density loss of astronauts. This phenomenon is due to the fact that in microgravity, the body does not work as much as when he is on earth. This causes the bone mass to decrease due to insufficient work. To prevent too much bone mass loss, the astronauts need to exercises at least two hours per day and have weeks of rehabilitation.. Now, why use Medaka fish for this experiments? Simply because their transparency helps the researchers target what they are looking for. Secondly the osteoclasts molecular structures are shown to have no major differences between the mamal and the fish, which made these little fishes even more suitable for this experiment.. In order to understand the mechanism behind osteoclasts, a cell that breaks the bone cells in ...

Scientific research on the International Space Station is a collection of experiments that require one or more of the unusual conditions present in low Earth orbit. The primary fields of research include human research, space medicine, life sciences, physical sciences, astronomy and meteorology. The 2005 NASA Authorization Act designated the American segment of the International Space Station as a national laboratory with the goal of increasing the use of the ISS by other federal agencies and the private sector. Research on the ISS improves knowledge about the effects of long-term space exposure on the human body. Subjects currently under study include muscle atrophy, bone loss, and fluid shift. The data will be used to determine whether space colonisation and lengthy human spaceflight are feasible. As of 2006, data on bone loss and muscular atrophy suggest that there would be a significant risk of fractures and movement problems if astronauts landed on a planet after a lengthy interplanetary ...

Impact of space flight on bacterial virulence and antibiotic susceptibility Peter William Taylor School of Pharmacy, University College London, London, UK Abstract: Manned space flight induces a reduction in immune competence among crew and is likely to cause deleterious changes to the composition of the gastrointestinal, nasal, and respiratory bacterial flora, leading to an increased risk of infection. The space flight environment may also affect the susceptibility of microorganisms within the spacecraft to antibiotics, key components of flown medical kits, and may modify the virulence characteristics of bacteria and other microorganisms that contaminate the fabric of the International Space Station and other flight platforms.

Cosmonauts Immune Systems Fight Weightlessness in SpaceCosmonauts Immune Systems Fight Weightlessness in Space
As humanity plans to soar out among the stars into the vast distances of space, the health effects of leaving the cradle of Earth continue to show consequences that are yet to be totally understood.. The latest look into the bodies of space travelers shows the levels of fundamental proteins change due to weightlessness, as reported by a Russian and Canadian team of scientists in the latest issue of the journal Scientific Reports. Essentially, its like the human bodys immune system fights the lack of gravity out beyond our world, they conclude.. Weightlessness for humans is completely new in evolutionary terms, being an environmental factor our species has not faced during the course of evolution, the team writes. Our results support the hypothesis that adaptation to the conditions of space flight takes place in all of othe major types of human cells, tissues, and organs..

Sustained ocular venous fluid shift during spaceflight may contribute by K Marshall-Goebel, B Maclas et al.Sustained ocular venous fluid shift during spaceflight may contribute by K Marshall-Goebel, B Maclas et al.
Purpose : The Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS) is characterized by the development of optic disc edema, chorioretinal folds, globe flattening, and/or hyperopic shifts in astronauts during 6-month missions on the International Space Station (ISS). We hypothesize that a weightlessness-induced chronic headward fluid shift within the venous system contributes to these ocular changes. Methods : Astronauts (n=10) were studied before flight (seated and supine posture) and ∼150 days into a 6-month mission on the ISS. Ocular and vascular measures included optical coherence tomography (OCT; Spectralis, Heidelberg Engineering) assessments of sub-macular choroid thickness and peripapillary total retinal thickness (TRT; segmented from Bruchs membrane to the internal limiting membrane); ultrasound-derived internal jugular vein (IJV) cross-sectional area (GE VividQ) and non-invasive IJV pressure (Veinpress); and intraocular pressure (IOP; iCare pro pre-flight and TonoPen in-flight).

The goal is to leave only enough main propulsion system propellant to be able to turn the vehicle around, fly back towards the Kennedy Space Center and achieve the proper main engine cutoff conditions so the vehicle can glide to the Kennedy Space Center after external tank separation. During the downrange phase, a pitch-around maneuver is initiated (the time depends in part on the time of a space shuttle main engine failure) to orient the orbiter/external tank configuration to a heads up attitude, pointing toward the launch site. At this time, the vehicle is still moving away from the launch site, but the space shuttle main engines are now thrusting to null the downrange velocity. In addition, excess orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system propellants are dumped by continuous orbital maneuvering system and reaction control system engine thrustings to improve the orbiter ...

Near-Earth asteroid 2011 MD will pass only 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) above the Earths surface on Monday June 27 at about 9:30 EDT. The asteroid was discovered by the LINEAR near-Earth object discovery team observing from Socorro, New Mexico. This small asteroid, only 5-20 meters in diameter, is in a very Earth-like orbit about the Sun, but an orbital analysis indicates there is no chance it will actually strike Earth on Monday. If a rocky asteroid the size of 2011 MD were to enter Earths atmosphere, it would be expected to burn up high in the atmosphere and cause no damage to Earths surface. The accompanying diagram gives a view of the asteroids trajectory from the general direction of the Sun. This view indicates that 2011 MD will reach its closest Earth approach point in extreme southern latitudes (in fact over the southern Atlantic Ocean). The incoming trajectory leg passes several thousand kilometers outside the geosynchronous ring of satellites and the outgoing leg passes well ...

Gap IM8: What is the correlation of immune risks with other risks, particularly psychological stress, physical deconditioning, nutrition and/or radiation?. Rationale: Post-flight data suggests that immune functions, including NK-cell cytotoxicity, are dysregulated following spaceflight. Unfortunately, these prior data are confounded by the acute stress of high-G entry and acclimation to terrestrial gravity. Our lab, however, has collected blood from astronauts on the ISS and measured the real-time effects of spaceflight on NK-cell activity and phenotype. Our data show that spaceflight is associated with major phenotypic and functional perturbations, including decreases in NK-cell Perforin/Granzyme B expression and anti-tumor cytotoxicity as well as cytomegalovirus (CMV)-associated expansion of the NKG2C+ NK-cell subset. Through this proposal, we aim to provide insight into the mechanisms underlying these phenomena by dissecting the roles of stress-induced humoral factors and microgravity ...

Born in Los Angeles, California in 1958, Ellen Ochoa is probably the best known example of a successful Hispanic inventor and innovator. With an undergraduate degree in physics and a masters and doctorate in electrical engineering, she served as a researcher at Sandia National Laboratories and NASAs Ames Research Center and is the co-inventor of three optics-related US Patents (4,674,824, 4,838,644, and 4,949,389). However, more famously, Ochoa was the first Hispanic woman astronaut, participating in four space shuttle flights for a total of 978 hours in space. Her first trip was a nine-day mission in 1993 to conduct atmospheric and solar studies from the space shuttle Discovery, which you can visit at the Smithsonians Udvar-Hazy Center. The following year she was the Payload Commander on the Atlantis mission. She returned to the Discovery in 1999 to help perform the first shuttle docking to the International Space Station, and her final flight was on Atlantis in 2002.. In 2012, Ochoa became ...

Parameters from 131 inflight vectorcardiograms were analyzed and compared to pre-flight and post-flight values. Maximum QRS vector magnitude showed a statistically significant increase in six of the nine Skylab astronauts. The magnitude of the spatial T vector increased in five crewmen. There was no consistent changes in QRS, T, or ST vector direction during the flights. The PR interval measured at rest increased in six astronauts, but the average PR interval for each inflight test did not exceed the upper limit of normal in any crewman. Resting heart rate decreased significantly only in the Skylab 2 crew. There was a marked increase in heart rate both at rest and at any given exercise load in the immediate postflight period. The vectorcardiographic data were also analyzed to detect changes of clinical importance. During the three Skylab missions there were no ST segment abnormalities that suggested myocardial ischemia or other abnormalities. However, cardiac arrhythmias were occasionally ...

Shuttles end could spell a bumpy ride for biomedicine in space : Spoonful of MedicineShuttles end could spell a bumpy ride for biomedicine in space : Spoonful of Medicine
NASAs Space Shuttle program is officially over. The final flight of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administrations program - a 13-day jaunt by the Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station (ISS) and back - touched down today, marking the end of an era for space exploration.. It also marks the end of an era for the small group of life sciences researchers whose mice, bacteria and plants have flown on the orbital spacecrafts. Without any US government-run manned spaceflights planned for the foreseeable future, those in the field of space biomedicine have fewer options for getting their research samples into orbit and back home again. But some scientists are optimistic that the recent completion of the ISS will mark the beginning of a new golden age for biology ex terra..

Over the last few years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has increasingly relied on its authority under the Space Act of 1958 to enter into agreements, commonly referred to as Space Act agreements (SAA), to stimulate private sector development of systems capable of transporting cargo and crew to the International Space Station and to assist partner firms in developing their technologies. Reimbursable Space Act agreements involve the use of NASAs facilities, personnel, or equipment primarily for the benefit of the agreement partner. NASA undertakes reimbursable work when it has unique goods, services, or facilities which can be made available to another party in a manner that does not interfere with NASA mission requirements and is consistent with the agencys mission. According to NASA guidance, the agency generally collects full reimbursement for costs associated with a reimbursable agreement. These types of agreements are known as fully reimbursable SAAs.

Astronauts in space suffer from an increased bone loss which is mainly related to the absence of gravitational forces. This increased bone reduction is accompanied by an higher concentration of calcium in urine and in this respect enhancing the risk of renal stones. Due to the fact, that bones´ regeneration does not occur rapidly even after returning to earth, astronauts face an increased risk of osteoporosis.. Nutritional factors such as a deficient intake of calcium, energy and fluid and the abundant intake of table salt exhibit additional negative effects on bone. Results of several studies consistently show the negative effects of acids on bone (increased bone loss). With respect to space missions of longer duration one big challenge is the development of countermeasures for the negative consequences of weightlessness on bone.. As not all needed experiments for the development of countermeasures can be conducted in space, simulation models of weightlessness such as 6° Head- Down- Tilt- ...

ESAs supply and support ferry ATV Albert Einstein has served the International Space Station faithfully since it was launched from Europes spaceport in French Guiana in June. Its mission comes to an end next week when it undocks on Monday and enters Earths atmosphere five days later.. Albert Einstein is the fourth in the series of ESAs Automated Transfer Vehicles that delivers supplies to the Station, reboosts its orbit and frees up space on the orbital outpost when it undocks with waste.. This year, the ATV team has planned a special departure. After undocking at 09:00 GMT on 28 October, Albert Einstein will be instructed by ATV Control Centre in Toulouse, France to perform delicate manoeuvres over the course of five days to position itself directly below the Station.. Controllers will start the reentry procedure around noon GMT 2 November when ATV-4 is 120 km below the Station - so astronauts will observe the craft from above as it disintegrates over the Pacific Ocean.
