Analysing the side physiological effects of microgravity as one of the main problems of long time space journeys. Suggesting probable solutions and evaluating their effectiveness.

v Introduction

General statement(s): There is a large number of unsolved problems with long term space flight performance. One of them is the side effect of microgravity on human body.

Background information? Adaptation to space conditions may have effects on astronauts body, which may cause problems both in space or on Earth. (European Space Agency, 2012)

Definition: Microgravity is general knowledge. It means lack of gravity, so-called zero-gravity.

v Body Paragraph 1 → (Describing microgravity problem in greater detail.)

Main idea (Topic sentence): Indeed, microgravity affects almost on every part of human body -bone and muscles, cardio-vascular and fluid circulation systems, vestibular system are most affected.

Supporting detail 1: Measures conducted in ISS (International Space Station) and Russian MIR station shows the pace of bone and muscular atrophy.

Example: According to the research there is a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and

Muscle power and volume.

Journal of Cosmology. 12 (1), 3778-3780.

Supporting detail 2: Microgravity affects on our vestibulary system.

Example: It may cause deorientation during re-adaptation period on Earth.

v Body Paragraph 2 → (Orientation of possible solutions. Gravity oriented solutions. Artificial gravity.)

Main idea (Topic sentence): Artificial gravity shall be considered as one of countermeasures against microgravity.

Supporting detail 1: Artificial gravity can decrease bone and muscle loss.

Example:
