Astronauts on the space shuttle combat the effects of weightlessness by exercising to maintain muscle and bone strength. They also use special equipment like foot restraints and handrails to anchor themselves and perform tasks safely in a microgravity environment.
This is known as free fall or microgravity. In this state, astronauts and objects inside the shuttle experience a sensation of weightlessness because they are falling at the same rate as the shuttle around the Earth, creating the illusion of being in a state of weightlessness.
Weightlessness
As the space shuttle orbits the Earth, both the shuttle and the astronauts inside experience the same gravitational acceleration towards the Earth. This gives the sensation of weightlessness because everything inside the shuttle is falling towards Earth at the same rate, creating the feeling of floating.

The effects of weightlessness on humans is explored during the work done by astronauts. This helps with advancements in medical and technological fields.

The space shuttle program began with the flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia on April 12, 1981.
The space shuttle that exploded over Texas in 2003 was the Space Shuttle Columbia.
Weightlessness is a measure of how much resistance there is between an object and the local gravity. If you are standing on the ground, then there is 100% resistance between you and the pull of gravity. Your weight is equal to the pull of gravity on your mass. When you jump off a tall object, you are falling. You feel weightless because there is no resistance between you and the pull of gravity. When you are in a shuttle orbiting the Earth, both you and the Shuttle are falling in such a way that you never hit the ground. This is called an orbit. You feel weightless because you are falling. You just never hit the bottom like you would on Earth.
