How long-term weightlessness affects the human body in orbit
In short: NASA Flight Engineer Scott Kelly discusses his year-long mission aboard the International Space Station. This video explores the vital research being conducted to prepare for future human journeys to Mars.
Aboard the International Space Station, Scott Kelly is working alongside Roscosmos cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko to study how weightlessness impacts the human body over extended periods. Currently in the third month of a year-long mission, Kelly is gathering data that will help scientists understand the physiological effects of long-duration spaceflight.
