During a Mar. 4 news briefing at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, members of the agency’s science community discussed the research conducted with the help of astronaut Scott Kelly of NASA and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko of Roscosmos, on their recently concluded year-long mission aboard the International Space Station. More than 400 experiments took place during their expedition that will help scientists better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. That knowledge will play a critical role in future NASA missions deeper into the solar system and on the Journey to Mars.
** Correction from Friday’s One-Year Mission science briefing: Twins study was a NASA initiative, not the Kellys’ request **
