23. Workshops Increase awareness of NASA's Life Sciences Program within the science community and to examine and discuss potential uses of microgravity and other aspects of spaceflight. http://www.mbl.edu/CASSLS/workshops.html

Early workshops explored the potential use of microgravity as a tool for gaining new insights into fundamental questions of molecular, cellular, neuro-, developmental and plant biology. Special attention was directed at examining the impact gravity and its control have on biological processes, and how variations in gravity can be utilized as a probe to better understand such processes. More recent workshops have focused on specific flight opportunities and a new focus on experiments of particular relevance to questions of human biology in the spaceflight environment. Most of our workshops result in Publications in order to broadly inform the science community.

We have often seen pictures of astronauts floating around inside the space shuttle International Space Station or Mir . While weightlessness looks like fun, it places great demands on your body. Initially, you feel nauseated, dizzy and disoriented. Your head and sinuses swell and your legs shrink. In the long term, your muscles weaken and your bones become brittle. These effects on your body could do severe damage on a long voyage, such as a trip to Mars In this edition of HowStuffWorks , we'll take you on an extended journey aboard the International Space Station, where we will examine what weightlessness is, what happens to your body, how these changes come about and what can be done to prevent or reverse these adverse effects.

MICROGRAVITY COMBUSTION LABORATORY Part of The Combustion Processes Laboratories MCL is a NASA-funded research facility in the Department Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley , aiming at studying the potential onset of fire in environments encountered in spacecraft. The research goals are to better understand and predict material flammability, combustion products, and other fire-safety related phenomena in reduced gravity environments. Research focuses on experimental investigation, theoretical analysis and computational simulations. Some of the experiments are conducted in microgravity facilities, including drop towers, parabolic flights, Space Shuttle and in the future in the International Space Station. Research Overview of our research in microgravity combustion (pdf file) Why Microgravity? Smoldering Combustion Current Projects: FIST F orced I gnition and Flame S pread T est): The project objective is to study the effect of low gravity on the flammability diagrams of combustible materials used in spacecraft's. The microgravity tests will be conducted in the International Space Station, with the first flight manifested for October 2004. Smoldering Combustion: STAF S moldering and T ransition to F laming in Microgravity): The objective of this project is to predict smoldering and the transition to flaming of foams, composite and cellulose materials in conditions expected in space based facilities. It includes experiments in normal gravity and in microgravity the latter will be conducted aboard the International Space Station.

36. Space Station | The Station | Living In Space All the deleterious effects of living in microgravity disappear after an astronaut returns to ground. Some can be countered while in orbit by special diet http://www.pbs.org/spacestation/station/living_microgravity.htm

living in space The Continuing Challenge of Microgravity Many of the problems that arise from living and working in space have been resolved. However, the physiological affects of weightlessness are still not completely understood. Among these are the leaching of certain minerals from bones; atrophy of muscles when not exercised; and space adaptation syndrome, a form of motion sickness found only in spaceflight. All the deleterious effects of living in microgravity disappear after an astronaut returns to ground. Some can be countered while in orbit by special diet and exercises. But even a vigorous exercise program does not appear to stop bone loss, or the decrease in the rate of normal bone formation. NASA is engaged in a long-term program to understand the causes underlying these changes, in order to develop ways to prevent them. This will be particularly important for the longer tours of duty on the Space Station, where crew members will be in orbit for three months or more at a time. back to the top *Click on images for captions Photo credits for all images: NASA.
