It is a free education programme developed by NASA scientists and fitness professionals working with astronaut and space agencies across the world. Mission X uses the excitement of space exploration to inspire students to learn more about nutrition,...

On Earth, we use a variety of cues to sense the position of our bodies, while stationary or moving. We use touch and pressure cues (such as weight on our feet) and visual cues (such as the location of the ceiling and floors) to determine orientation.

In an environment with less gravity, the brain needs to...

Published in July 2015, this report from the ISOS Partnership evaluates the implementation and impact of the third phase of the National Science Learning Network’s regional programme.
