What do scientists send on the International Space Station to test the effects of microgravity?

Scientists send a variety of items to the International Space Station to test the effects of microgravity, including plant seeds, bacteria, cells, and even small animals like mice. These experiments help researchers understand how living organisms respond to space conditions and how microgravity affects biological systems.

What is microgravity and what is its affect on humans?

Well basically, anything that has mass exerts a gravitational pull ony other masses. Therefore, when in space in a space station/ship, you are not actually experiencing weightlessness, but the gravitational effects of the ship are small enough as to not be noticable. This is called microgravity. As to its effects on humans, basically we experience muscle atrophy, or the wasting away of our muscles. The reason for this is that humans have evlolved in a gravitational environment where our muscles have developed due to the resistance of gravity. Therefor when spending long periods in space, we lose this conditioning. A classic image from the MIR space station was of the Russian cosmonaut being lifted out of his reentry capsule because his muscles had wasted to the point that he couldn't stand in (resist) Earths gravity.


What do they do in the space station?

In a space station, astronauts conduct experiments, research microgravity effects on the human body, test new technologies, observe Earth from a unique perspective, and perform maintenance tasks to keep the station operational. They also exercise to combat muscle and bone loss caused by extended time in microgravity.
