Sunita Williams Faces Extended Space Mission Due to Boeing Starliner Issues, Raising Health Concerns
• NASA astronaut Sunita Williams' mission on the International Space Station has been extended from 9 days to 52 days due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
• Prolonged exposure to microgravity during extended missions can lead to various health effects, including bone loss, muscle atrophy, fluid shifts, kidney stone risks, sensory and balance adjustments, visual impairments, and increased radiation exposure.
• Space agencies implement measures like exercise routines, nutritional monitoring, and medical surveillance to mitigate these health challenges and ensure astronaut safety.
That's great 👍
