Agnirva Space Premier League - Expedition #32651: Understanding Early Orbit Adaptation: The Vitok-2(Z) Human Research Experiment

The Vitok-2(Z) study is a continuation of ROSCOSMOS’s investigation into how space affects cosmonauts in their first days off Earth. Focused on both visual and instrument-based capabilities, this research addresses the challenges posed by the unfamiliar environment of space.

Under the guidance of Dr. Valery Morgun, cosmonauts perform assessments aimed at quantifying their responsiveness and coordination. These tasks highlight difficulties encountered in early orbit and offer solutions through training and support systems.

The outcome is not just enhanced astronaut performance but also critical knowledge that informs spacecraft design, crew health protocols, and operational timelines.
