Shumanshu Shukla & Team Experiment on ISS

Shumanshu Shukla & Team Experiment on ISS

ISRO has shortlisted seven microgravity research experiments proposed by Indian (PIs) from various national R&D laboratories and academic institutions which Group Captain Shukla would be conducting during his 14-day stay at the ISS.

Microgravity creates a different physiological environment, allowing scientists to study the human body in ways that are not possible on Earth. 

Few notable experiment by Axiom 4 are - 

Cerebral Hemodynamics

“Using ultrasound technology, this research explores how blood circulates in the brain under microgravity conditions. 

The findings could improve our understanding of cardiovascular adaptation in space and inform medical diagnostics and treatments for conditions like stroke and hypertension on Earth.


Myogenesis experiment 

It is a critical experiment on muscle degradation known as Myogenesis.

It aims to uncover how skeletal muscles deteriorate in space, which is a key health concern for astronauts.

By identifying these mechanisms, researchers hope to develop targeted therapies that could not only protect space travelers but also aid people suffering from muscle-degenerative diseases on Earth.

Myogenesis is been proposed by the Bengaluru based Institute of Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (InStem).


'Suite Ride's

Shubhanshu Shukla is conducting vital diabetes research. The 'Suite Ride' project tests Continuous Glucose Monitors and insulin technologies in microgravity, potentially revolutionizing diabetes care. This initiative aims to make space travel safer for individuals with diabetes and improve healthcare in remote areas.

With global diabetes cases on the rise, the mission holds promise for both space medicine and everyday healthcare.

The Suite Ride project is testing the use of CGMs, devices that track blood glucose levels in real time, during spaceflight. 


Thoughts Over Gravity

 Shubhanshu Shukla, is working to develop a brain-computer interface in the orbital lab. Shukla, along with fellow astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland, partnered together in the Columbus laboratory and studied using near-infrared technology to record brain activity for constructing brain-computer interfaces. The experiment called the “Thoughts over Gravity” explored how astronauts can use their brains to control or communicate with computers in space, even in challenging low-gravity conditions. 


Mental health in space 

The crew on-board documented activities for the Astronaut Mental Health study, contributing to research on understanding well-being in space. “This project can benefit others on Earth by developing remote technologies for diagnosing and treating mental disorders, particularly for individuals in isolated or challenging environments where access to mental health care is limited,” Axiom Space said.

Sixth Sense

Image
Sixth Senses  Sixth sense (ESP extra sensory perception)is a power of perception beyond the five senses.  It is an inner sense of guidance that can help you navigate your way through life, to better relationships, health, well-being, and success. It is a cumulative power of all your other senses - sight, sound, taste, touch, smell - that culminates in a stronger sense of inner knowing.

Neurodivergence - Mental illness or Mad Scientist?

Image
Neurodivergence -  Mental illness or Mad Scientist? Who Is Neurodiverse/Neurotypical? The terms "neurodivergent" and "neurodiverse" refer to people whose thought patterns, behaviors, or learning styles fall outside of what is considered "normal," or neurotypical of humans. The concept of neurodiversity is not necessarily disabilities. Some differences can be real strengths. Who are Neurodivergent? The neurodiverse population includes people with specific diagnoses that are considered developmental disorders (as opposed to intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses). These include but are not limited to: Autism : A developmental disorder that includes differences in social communication skills, fine and gross motor skills, speech, and more Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ): A neurodevelopmental disorder that includes features of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity Tourette's syndrome : A tic disorder that starts in childhood ...
