How Will Gravity on Mars Affect Humans? A New Study Reveals a Clue.

NASA and the China National Space Agency plan to send astronauts to Mars as early as the next decade.

An international team of researchers is studying how Martian gravity affects skeletal muscle health.

The experiment involved 24 mice subjected to various gravity levels in a JAXA-developed centrifuge.

Results indicated that exposure to 0.33 g mitigated muscle atrophy, with 0.67 g fully preventing it.

These findings suggest the need for strategies to maintain astronaut muscle health during long spaceflights.
