Published: Mar 16 2025, 7 ameznews.inUS astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are set to return to Earth next week after an extended nine-month mission, initially planned for eight days. Their prolonged stay has led to potential health issues, including "baby feet," where the soles of their feet become soft and tender, making walking painful. This condition occurs due to the lack of gravity, which also contributes to significant bone density loss—about one percent per month—muscle weakening, and changes in blood volume and circulation. Additionally, astronauts face altered fluid distribution that can affect vision, often requiring them to wear glasses in space. Moreover, they are exposed to harmful radiation levels without the protective shield of Earth's atmosphere, encountering three primary radiation types: trapped particles, solar particles, and galactic cosmic rays, posing further risks to their health.
