Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #31876: Gravity Perception Systems

Gravity is a fundamental force that governs the motion of objects on Earth and throughout the universe. It is crucial for many of the physiological processes that keep organisms alive, and understanding how organisms perceive and respond to gravity is essential for human health. The 'Gravity Perception Systems' experiment explores how microgravity affects the sensory systems responsible for detecting gravity in organisms, including humans.

In a microgravity environment, such as aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the typical cues that organisms use to sense gravity are altered. This experiment seeks to identify the physiological changes that occur in response to microgravity and how these changes affect the overall functioning of the body.

By investigating gravity perception systems in space, this research aims to improve our understanding of how humans and other organisms adapt to space travel. The findings could help mitigate some of the physiological challenges astronauts face during long-duration missions, such as muscle atrophy and bone loss, by revealing how the body compensates for the lack of gravity.
