A going into space wont make you weightless when you return but it could take a bit of the Load off a fast. Preliminary results from nasal a most elaborate medical research Mission show the seven astronauts lost up to 6 pounds each after just one Day in orbit. They gained some of that weight Back As the nine Day Mission wore on but still returned to Earth 2 or 3 pounds lighter than when they left. A for the first time we were Able to make some very key measurements very Early in space flight a Nasa scientist Carolyn Leach said in releasing her findings thursday. The astronauts aboard the shuttle Columbia in june weighed themselves every Day. The Crew consumed 70 percent less food and drink on the first flight Day Leach said. This was due in part to space motion sickness she said. All but one injected a drug to relieve nausea and dizziness. The Crew ate More than usual in the one to two weeks before flight. A i done to know if that was because they had More time to eat or better food perhaps. So they May have been a Little heavier at liftoff a Leach said a a we re going to have to Analyse that data and  weight loss is one of a number of startlingly rapid body changes observed during the Mission. Scientists speculate some of these changes May occur even before astronauts get off the ground. A few pounds could do trick it May Well be that the launch position which is a head Down legs up position and the acceleration forces across the Chest. Accelerate the adaptation of the cardiovascular system said or. C. Gunnar Blom quist of the University of Texas southwestern medical Center in Dallas.

Among the biggest surprises was the reduced production of red blood cells in Bone marrow. The astronauts lungs also retained an uneven distribution of blood and air flow despite the absence of Gravity. Scientists want to better understand How the body reacts to space in preparation of longer space flights. Nasa s first two week shuttle trip is scheduled for next summer. The four men and three women astronauts shared the shuttle with 2,478 tiny jellyfish and 29 rats. The jellyfish that matured developed Gravity receptors to maintain direction and balance just As they would have on Earth said Laurence Young of the Massachusetts Institute of technology.
