The physiological toll of a year in orbit
In short: Watch NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Roscosmos cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko reflect on their unprecedented year-long mission aboard the International Space Station. This retrospective explores the critical data gathered on how the human body adapts to long-duration spaceflight.
In 2015, Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko embarked on a mission to the International Space Station to study the effects of prolonged exposure to microgravity. The mission was designed to collect essential scientific data necessary for future human exploration of the solar system.
The partnership between NASA and Roscosmos allowed for the collection of critical information on human physiological responses during long-duration flight. These findings serve as a foundation for understanding how humans can survive and function during deep-space travel.
