The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has highlighted astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi’s involvement in the Cardiobreath experiment on the International Space Station (ISS).
The project, carried out in association with Simon Fraser University, The University of North Dakota, and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), looks at how microgravity affects respiratory and cardiovascular processes.
On the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts wear bio-monitor shirts to measure their heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, and ECG data. The goal of this study is to comprehend how the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are impacted by microgravity in order to design safety precautions for space flight.
The experiment consists of two phases: one on a stationary bike and the other floating within the International Space Station (ISS). Results will be compared to help make space travel safer and may have implications for medical research on Earth.
