Keeping fit in space is central to ensuring a successful recovery back on Earth, says ex-NASA astronaut Leroy ChiaoAstronauts can lose as much as 10% of bone density during six months in space, according to NASA, because there's no gravity for their body to push against.

"It allows a person, when they're repeatedly jumping, to load their skeletal system, their bones then start to lay down more bone density and more to the point prevent astronauts losing their bone density and muscle mass," inventor John Kennett, who used to work on the Concorde aircraft programme, says.The new equipment could cut the time needed for astronauts to spend exercising by 95%.
