In space, the body begins to adapt to the microgravity environment. NSBRIâs science and technology program is addressing ways to reduce or eliminate many of the changes to the body that impact an astronautâs ability to perform well in space and that might impact their health after returning to Earth.
Effects of Microgravity on the Body By Micaela B. & Theya D. What is microgravity? Microgravity is similar to zero gravity. It happens in space and gravity is so weak in space that weightlessness occurs. How is microgravity different from gravity? Since microgravity occurs in space, there is no gravity which concludes there is no weight. Gravity pulls humans, animals, plants, and other worldly objects towards Earth or other physical bodies that have mass.
