Today let’s look at two news about space. One is news related to technological research, and the other is confrontation between countries in space.
first.
Russia has always been an international leader in the aerospace industry. Recently, Russian researchers stated that due to the system developed by Russia to combat the influence of microgravity, when observing Russian astronauts and American astronauts, they found that the changes in some brain structures of the two countries' astronauts were less obvious or no changes. .
"The observations found that the space around the blood vessels in Russian cosmonauts did not expand, which means some differences in the system may help protect health. As one explanation, the researchers cited microgravity control measures and increased resistance to exercise Differences in protocol, which may affect redistribution of cerebrospinal fluid
According to the study’s authors, other factors also influence differences in brain structure between astronauts and astronauts “While microgravity control measures and high-resistance exercise regimens occur during space flight. The effects on the brain during this period are unclear, but they may partially explain the differences in changes in the space around blood vessels between astronauts and astronauts. We cannot rule out that other factors, such as diet, may also influence these differences," they said.
A team of international experts conducted a study that sought to determine the relationship between structural changes in the brains of astronauts with impaired vision after long-term flights - Neuroocular Syndrome (SANS). The experiment involved 24 Americans, 13 Russians and a handful of astronauts from the European Space Agency . During the study, international scientists discovered that 8 American astronauts suffered from SANS. eye syndrome, the brain area of Americans has increased significantly, and the space around their blood vessels is larger than that of people who have not experienced this syndrome.
The US and European sanctions on Russia have been extended to space.
Recently, Europe. The European Space Agency (ESA) halted the joint Russian-European Mars exploration mission in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine.
European Space Agency chief Joseph Aschbach said on Twitter, "The agency's Board of Governors officially authorized me to do so." Terminate currently suspended cooperation with Roscosmos on ExoMars Rover and Surface Platform missions.
Roscosmos chief Rogozin fired back at the decision, calling it an "act of sabotage" and ordering Russian cosmonauts to "stop using" the European Robotic Arm (ERA), which in turn ordered us to The crew of the space station stopped cooperating with the European Space Agency, how can we talk to the Europeans about Mars or the Americans about Venus if they try to kill as many Russians and Ukrainians as possible
has 22 members? As early as 2013, China's European Space Agency signed a cooperation agreement with the Russian Space Agency on a partnership to explore Mars. But the European Space Agency said in March that it had commissioned a "rapid industrial study" to examine the mission and methods of continuing the mission to explore Mars without Russia's participation.
At present, Western sanctions against Russia, especially the ban on the export of high-tech equipment, have had a major impact on the Russian Space Agency and Russia's space program. (Inoue Wana)
