What happens to the human body during a year in orbit?
In short: As the final days of a year-long mission approach, NASA Commander Scott Kelly discusses the vital biomedical research being conducted aboard the International Space Station.
The video captures interviews from February 24, where Scott Kelly and Roscosmos cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko reflect on their extended stay. Their mission focuses on gathering critical data regarding how long-duration weightlessness affects human biology, research that is essential for planning future crewed missions to Mars.
The crew, including Sergey Volkov, is preparing to depart the orbital laboratory on March 1 aboard the Soyuz TMA-18M spacecraft, destined for a landing in the Kazakhstan steppe.
