In the last years it was observed that there are alot of risks violating Astronnauts lives. To find solutions for these risks we aimed to make space experiment on different living organisms. Upon our challenge we try to collect best characteristics in any creature adaptation to space and combine them in a new creature called BioHero
Discover The Impact Of The space on the human
to adapt (microgravity, radiation, extreme temperatures, low pressure and isolation)
While living and working in space is mentally strenuous, the absence of gravity makes working in a spacecraft physically undemanding. On Earth, we must constantly use certain muscles to support ourselves against the force of gravity. These muscles, commonly called antigravity muscles, include the gastrocnemius (calf muscles), the quadriceps, and the muscles of the back and neck. Because astronauts work in a weightless (microgravity) environment, very little muscle contraction is needed to support their bodies or move around.
Space pressure:
Air pressure in space is extremely low which equals approximately zero!
Gravitational force difference:
Gravity in space is extremely smaller than Earths’ as it also approximately equals zero. Vestibular System which plays an important role in stabilizing human body turns gravitational information it gets into electrical impulses and then sends it to the brain.
Radiations:
In outer space, without any atmosphere radiations are much denser and have lot of impacts on human body as they can lead to change heart or vessels function which will lead in turn to arteriosclerosis and will damage some tissues too. If neurons or neuroglials cells damages, it will be difficult to heal new cells which will lead to mental weakness and insufficiency of memory.
Mice adaptivity to gravitational disturbance in space:
Mice have shown that they are able to adapt micro gravities in space. By observing mice behavior, special behavior was noticed from some mice The study included two categories (Earth mice & space mice) where the space mice showed the same results as Earth’s. Unique behavior was observed from the mice after a week of launch where groups of young and old female mice started what scientist called (race-tracking) as they were moving as in racing laps.
Female Mice adaptivity to Galactic Cosmic Radiations:
Our major obstacle for successful deep space journey is the negative impact of the GCR (Galactic Cosmic Radiations) on living organisms. 7 | Page Upon exposing male and female mice to GCR it was observed that males only was affected by it and females haven’t any unordinary behaviors at all. From those researches we claimed that females might be better than males in some space missions.
Here we approach to our end of mission with one of our main creatures and a classic superhero tale as nas told!
It is a microscopic chubby animal that tolerates extreamly severe conditions (can tolerate up to 150C).
An experiment starting aboard the International Space Station, called Cell Science-04, will help reveal how tardigrades do it.
Our BioHero has different characteristics and qualifications inspired from our past space impacts as we will show...
The BioHero has the ability to tolerate radiations and can adapt to microgravity (as female mouse).
The BioHero has tiny pressure that approaches to zero so that it can adapt (zero pressure) in space(as in tardigrades).
it has to tolerate high and low tempratures (as if the temprature out the body is higher than that of the body the blood vessels dilates).
