Now is your chance to experience what it’s like to live and work on the International Space Station! The new NASA Science: Humans in Space app will let you explore the station while virtually experiencing what it does to your body.
Life in space is no float in the park. Astronauts contend with everything from motion sickness to face swelling to loss of bone density. That’s why many research investigations on the space station study how humans can better adapt to microgravity both in Earth’s orbit as well as on longer missions to the Moon and Mars.
Deal with these challenges and perform crucial daily workouts as you explore the orbiting laboratory and ensure the H-II Transfer Vehicle successfully berths to the station.
You can even collect mission patches along the way for completing tasks, counteracting the effects of microgravity and making discoveries.
Download the application for Android here and iPhone here. Find more NASA apps here.
