One of the most significant effects of being weightless in space is on the balance system. When astronauts first go into space, many suffer from space motion sickness, which is something like motion sickness on Earth. This lasts for a day or two, until their balance systems get used to being in space. When they come back to Earth, they again have similar problems until their balance systems now ...

Certainly. Think of locations you want to observe, but must be very high up or outside the atmosphere in order to see clearly. And think of questions about biology, or chemistry, or physics that have gravity or air pressure as important parts. Now, then, you have your list of missions best done in space. ---- Answer provided by Charles D. Walker, Ph.D Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question ...

However, since the blood volume is decreased in space, the heart and other muscles can be weakened, the neurological system undergoes changes with regard to balance, and many other physiologic changes occur. Therefore, the effects of alcohol may be different. I would guess that the effects of alcohol in space may be similar to the effects on Earth, but greater in intensity. ---- Answer provided ...

During a geo-magnetic storm, caused by a solar storm, the radiation environment around the Earth is enhanced and poses a risk to astronauts in space. Astronauts need to seek shelter to protect themselves until the storm dissipates. ---- Answer provided by Robert P. McCoy, Ph.D. Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer ...

I first started working with the Japanese back in the ’80s or early ’90s on what ... example. So I would do a flight controller 101. It was revolving around the JEM Japanese Experiment Module module and all their system, but in a sense it was the broader scope of teaching ...

I spent a couple of trips down at the Cape looking at the Japanese module, the JEM pressurized module, down there to be able to get a look at it, to see ... the activation of that Japanese Experiment Module, the pressurized module on STS-124, was done by commanding from the ground, and a lot of it was done by the Japanese flight control team over in ...
