NASA Aims to Keep Crew Healthy During Deep Space Exploration

NASA is playing a vital role for one of its biggest goal "Deep Space Exploration", to keep the crew members healthy during long space missions.

Three NASA Ames Research Centers, which are dedicated towards the Deep Space Exploration project on keeping the astronauts healthy, has received a total fund of $17 million till date. One proposal is to optimize ways to mitigate spatial disorientation after a long space flight, while another will experiment on rats to determine the response of the skeleton to long exposed microgravity.

Challenges of Deep Space Explorations

Earlier for such deep space missions, robots were sent on planets, moon and asteroids. NASA is now hoping to get more information that how deep space missions can affect eyesight, bone density, cardiovascular functions and mental condition.
