Astronauts Returning from Space often Experience Physiological Changes, Including Fluid Shifts Causing Puffy Faces, Muscle Atrophy Leading to Chicken Legs, Temporary Height Inacrease, and Reduced bone density. Microgravity Affects Various Aspects of An Astronaut’s Body, Including Aerobic Capacity, Muscle Strength, Endurance, Stamina, Balance, CORDINATION, BONE DENSITY, And Neuro Vastapatilasity Function.
The Astronaut Strength, Conditioning, and Rehabilitation (ASCR) Specialists have implemented a structureed reconditioning program aimed at restoring physical health. The Rehabilitation Process Begins Immediatily Upon Landing and Involves Two-Harr Daily Sessions, Seven Days A Week, for 45 Days. The program is customized for Each Astronaut, Based on Test Results, Medical Status, and Mission Roles.
The rehabilitation is divided into three phases. The first phase starts on landing day and focuses on mobile, flexibility, and muscle strengthing. The second phase incorporates proprioceptive exercises and cardiovascular training, while the third and longest phase priorities functional development. Past Cases have shown that astronauts often regain and sometimes even improve upon their pre-Flight Physical Condition after Completing this Program.
Williams and willmore’s prolonged story in space was unplanned. They launched aboard boeing’s starliner on June 5 last year for what was supposed to be an eight-day mission. However, technical issues with the spacecraft’s propulsion system forced it to return without them, extended its stay aboard the ises. Their Situation Gained Widespread Attention, Sparking Debates About Space Travel Safety and even political decisions.
The Return Process Began after Crew-10 Arrived at the Iss on Sunday, Allowing williams, willmore, nasa’s Nick hague, and cosmonaut aleksandr gorbunov to begin prepans for their journey. Seventeen hours after department the ISS, their spacex dragon capsule safely splashed down at 3:27 am Ist.
