Specialists from Lomonosov Moscow State University have found a way to enhance astronauts’ orientation efficiency in weightlessness.
Scientists presented a prototype stimulator designed to improve astronauts’ spatial orientation in weightlessness by affecting vestibular cells. The prototype, created using galvanic stimulation of vestibular cells, aims to enhance astronauts’ adaptation to microgravity conditions and reduce the risk of vestibular dysfunctions during long space missions. Its use is also expected to alleviate difficulties in focusing on objects in weightlessness.
This new approach has the potential to increase comfort and efficiency in performing tasks on board a spacecraft, especially during manual control of spacecraft docking and other systems.
