Space Physiology and Microgravity

Space Physiology and Microgravity


Welcome to the website presenting the contribution of Swedish researchers to making long-term human spaceflight a real and safe endeavor.

This is the public forum for scientists from Swedish institutions studying how the space exposome (i.e. microgravity, radiation, psychological stress and confinement) affects the normal functioning of living systems – from single cells to humans. Researchers working on the effects of microgravity on materials science are also represented in this forum.

We use a number of platforms to accomplish our goals, such as the International Space Station, sounding rockets, bed rest, and other Earth-based space analogs.
