Video: Research for the future of space – DLR is looking for terrestrial astronauts
The bed rest study, conducted in collaboration with NASA, investigates how longer space missions affect astronauts and what countermeasures are possible. The Sensorimotor Countermeasures Study (SMC) lasts 88 days, 60 of which the participants spend in bed in a six-degree head-down position. The study is being carried out at :envihab, the research facility of the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne.
