Adaptation of the body to liFe on the Moon

Your goal for the day :

Prepare for your mission by anticipating the physical and physiological challenges of your trip to the Moon.Build a mind map based on the questions you are asked. When you see this symbol : complete your minpmap.

MOON

• almost non-existent (no protection from the sun's UV rays and no oxygen)

• thick
• protective
• main components : nitrogen 78 % and oxygen 21%

Physical effects

Try it!

It has been shown that a long stay in space leads to a decrease in cardiovascular capacities

Cardiovascular function

Physical effects

• The loss of bone density occurs because of the absence of gravity for a long period of time.

• The bones then look like bones with osteoporosis.

• The loss of bone density leads to a weakening of the bone and increases the risk of fractures when returning to Earth.

Psychological effects

• The view of the Earth can cause anxiety and fear
• The confined space can be difficult to live with
• Teams must be prepared and ready to get along to carry out the project
• They can have space sickness and space-time confusions

Iron and vitamin supplementation: Ensuring a balanced diet and providing iron and vitamin supplements can help maintain adequate levels of red blood cells. Regular physical exercise: Regular physical activity, especially resistance training and aerobic exercise, can help stimulate the production of red blood cells. Regular medical monitoring: Regular medical monitoring of astronauts during and after space missions allows for the monitoring of their health, including their red blood cell count, and enables prompt intervention if any issues are detected.
