Space X: The space mission will study for the first time the female metabolism in space

The female metabolism is one of the objects of study of the space mission that was successfully launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida by a spaceship of the company SpaceX by Elon Musk.

More specifically, as ERT reports, the participation of AstroSamantha is considered a fact of the highest scientific importance and pride for both Italy and ESA, since it will be at the center of the study “Nutriss, Which aims to understand the reaction of microgravity to the metabolic activity of the female body. This is the first time in history that such research has been conducted on female metabolism, compared to previous studies in male astronauts.

The goal is to define a diet protocol for long-term space missions for the female astronauts, according to the University of Trieste, which is conducting the study.

In addition to changes in female metabolic activity, other Crew-4 mission studies include: the construction of an artificial retina under zero gravity conditions, the Cimon robot test, with artificial intelligence designed to interact with astronauts under difficult conditions, the programming from Earth of “space bees” (Astrobee), flying robots with propellers for the purpose of monitoring the Space Station when astronauts are engaged in outdoor activities.

The mooring at the International Space Station is expected on April 28, at 3:15 a.m. Greek time, while the return of the crew is scheduled for September.

The new flight of Elon Musk’s company took off today, this time for a scientific mission of Six months NASAto the International Space Station (ISS).

The shipment, with the name “Crew-4”took off from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 10:52 Greek time, with a crew of American Tp. Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkinsas well as the Italian Samantha Cristoforetti by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The takeoff was broadcast live from the NASA website.

SpaceX made the launch less than 40 hours after another crew recovered, in a hasty flight schedule after Elon Musk’s operation became NASA ‘taxi’ to the ISS.

After the end of the US spacecraft in 2011 and until 2020, the Americans relied on space missions on Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

The four Crew-4 astronauts will be joined by another crew, watching its return to Earth approach, after a five-month mission, and his return date will be announced soon.
