ICYMI: UCalgary study found prolonged weightlessness accelerated bone loss in the astronauts. YYC

Canada’s 1st space rocket factory opens with aim to be more eco-friendlyBoyd said new scanning technology has made a world of difference.“We’re using new technology that can measure the fine details of the bone that are even finer than a human hair in terms of resolution. We can see detail there that wasn’t possible to see before in these astronauts.”

The study’s next iteration plans to look at the effects of even longer trips to support astronauts who may one day travel beyond the International Space Station. “The next phase is to do a study that would incorporate crew members who spend a year on the International Space Station, which will give us some more insight on whether you lose even more bone after that one year period.”

“Just as the body must adapt to spaceflight at the start of a mission, it must also readapt back to Earth’s gravity field at the end,” he said.‘Crazy, wild ride home’: How returning to Earth impacts an astronaut’s body
