The study is an attempt to understand the effect of micro gravity on our human body. Your bed will be tilted in a manner similar to astronauts in space so that the scientists can monitor your health and bodily changes.

What’s More?

“Being able to test new ideas on Earth saves invaluable flight time,” said Joe Neigut, the Flight Analog Project Manager at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. It also gives you an opportunity to aid NASA in understanding the human body and breaking barriers of space.
