The Artery in Microgravity (AIM) project was the first experiment to be selected for the “Orbit Your Thesis!” programme of the European Space Agency Academy. It is a 2U cube experiment that will be operated in the International Commercial Experiment (ICE) Cubes facility onboard the International Space Station. The experiment is expected to be launc...

Homo sapiens and their predecessors evolved in the context of the boundary conditions of Earth, including a 1 g gravity and a geomagnetic field (GMF). These variables, plus others, led to complex organisms that evolved under a defined set of conditions and define how humans will respond to space flight, a circumstance that could not have been antic...
Spaceflight entails a variety of environmental and psychological stressors that may have long-term physiological and genomic consequences. Metabolomics, an approach that investigates the terminal metabolic outputs of complex physiological alterations, considers the dynamic state of the human body and allows the identification and quantification of...
Since cholesterol is not routinely measured in astronauts before and after their return from space, there is no data on the role of blood cholesterol level in muscle atrophy and microgravity. Since the first moon landing, aerospace medicine became outdated and has not pushed boundaries like its rocket engineering counterpart. Since the 2019 astrona...
Astronauts suffer skeletal muscle atrophy in microgravity and/or zero-gravity environments. Artificial muscle-actuated exoskeletons can aid astronauts in physically strenuous situations to mitigate risk during spaceflight missions. Current artificial muscle fabrication methods are technically challenging to be performed during spaceflight. The obje...
Space flight missions last for a long time so bacterial infection during missions is considered a potential risk for astronauts. Studies of bacterial antibiotic resistance under spaceflight and simulated microgravity (SMG) have shown lots of results. To better understand the antibiotic resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the microgravity environ...
