LEADIN:
A group of genetically engineered and ordinary mice are being sent to the International Space Station today (December 4, 2019)
Their mission is to help scientists learn how to maintain the health of astronauts in zero gravity.
Astronauts, especially those on long periods in Space experience muscle and bone loss, as well as other health problems.
STORYLINE:
There's always excitement about a space walk, but it's no longer unusual to see astronauts like European Space Agency's Luca Parmitano and NASA's Andrew Morgan carrying out repairs to a vital piece of kit.
The two billion US dollar spectrometer has been in Space hunting for antimatter and dark matter for more than eight years and NASA says these spacewalks are like doing heart surgery.
Joining the astronauts on board the International Space Station over 400 kilometres from our planet will be genetically engineered mice developed by the Jackson Laboratory and the University of Conneticut.
They're called 'mighty mice' and for a very good reason according to genetic scientist Professor Se-Jin Lee.
"The mighty mice are a strain of mice that we generated through genetic engineering and these mice are completely normal except they lack just a single gene and that's the gene that encodes myostatin. Myostatin is a protein that circulates in the blood, so it's like a hormone and it normally acts to limit muscle growth," explains Lee.
The genetically engineered mice can have twice the muscle mass of normal mice.
Lee has been been working on them since the 1990s, his aim is not just to work out ways to preserve astronaut health, but to also understand muscle degeneration in elderly populations and in people with muscle wasting conditions.
Up in space the mice will be put through a DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) scan which uses low dose x-rays to measure the strength or density of their bones over the forty day duration of their time on the ISS.
Lee says: "One group will be what we're calling the control group and what that means is these are mice that are not going to receive any treatments whatsoever. Another group will be these mighty mice so these are mice that have no myostatin at all and they'll start out with muscles that are about twice the size. A third group will be normal mice they've normal myostatin but we're going to give them an experimental drug that will block myostatin and cause the muscle to grow."
At NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Texas astronauts are carefully monitored for all their vital signs and they are subjected to rigorous exercise regimes to tackle the muscle loss.
Michael Barratt is a physician as well as a NASA astronaut, he specialises in aerospace medicine and was a NASA flight surgeon.
He has helped to develop the space agency's medicine programs for both the Shuttle-Mir Program and International Space Station
Barratt says: "In space flight the dominant factor is weightlessness or zero gravity, if you will. And every system in the body changes."
British astronaut Tim Peake ran the London marathon in zero gravity in 2016, whilst he strapped to a treadmill at the International Space Station.
Barrat explains the physiological changes the astronaut's bodies are subjected to in space.
"Reduction in your amount of blood volume, red blood cells circulating the body change shape a bit. The cardiovascular system in the way it's regulated changes. We see some changes in bone and muscle because they're unloaded compared to being in normal gravity. So they start to atrophy, or lose mass and strength that's why we exercise very hard and then we see some more sinister changes that we worry about, such as those with the eye, the optic nerve and the brain. Now, we don't see long term effects from these as yet, but still they they get your attention," says Barratt.
As our exploration of Space has advanced scientists and governments have looked at the red planet Mars with growing interest.
In May 2018 Insight landed on Mars, NASA described it as: "NASA's Insight the first out of space robotic explorer to study the interior of Mars."
Travel to Mars is not just longer it's more hazardous according to Barratt:
"In lower Earth orbit were underneath the geomagnetic fields, which serve as a shield for us in a way and we'll get about three times as much ionizing radiation in deep space as we would in low Earth orbit. So that's one of our biggest issues. Now that mostly correlates with the risk of cancer later in life as we soak up those that radiation, but we also have a concern for acute radiation syndromes from solar flares. So that that dash to Mars is a bit of a risky time just because of the environment that you're in," he says.
The ISS is equipped with an advanced laboratory, but also a gym which allows astronauts to stay healthy.
In space they must undergo heavy training just to maintain the muscle mass they have.
A space craft going to Mars won't have the room for this equipment according to Barratt:
"We need machines that are quite a bit more compact than we have on the space station right now. So, as much fun and as big a loads in a much smaller package and that's definitely a hurdle for us. It it is not easy to make exercise hardware that functions in zero gravity and can be used by every crew member, every day, forever. That's basically the reliability that we need," he says.
Astronaut Bob Behnken demonstrates the ARED machine which is currently used by astronauts. Behnken is one of the the test astronauts on the SpaceX capsule.
There is a machine like this on the ISS, but it's unlikely it will make it to Mars.
As well as muscle wastage, the astronauts are exposed to more radiation with a corresponding risk increase in cancer and vestibular neuronitis, or neuritis.
This is an infection of the vestibular nerve in the inner ear which becomes inflamed, disrupting balance and can create symptoms of lightheadedness.
But when it comes to Mars it won't just be the physical obstacles the astronauts will have to surmount:
"Certainly the psychological aspects of extreme isolation, knowing that there is no ready way home and that you will not have real time communications with your friends and family and your mission managers on the earth because of the sheer distances involved. So it's more of a store and forward type information exchange. Not quite as bad as writing letters from ships of exploration, but still the real time communication and that human interaction with other than your your crewmates will not be there," says Barratt.
Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to fly to space when she launched Vostok 6 in 1963 since then women have also been regulars in space.
Peggy Whitson became the most experienced American astronaut before she retired in 2018.
Barrett says it's interesting that in a few instances men and women have slightly different risk factors:
"For the radiation risk, women have a lower dose that they can that can tolerate for the same cancer risk. Right. So it means that men can spend a little bit more time in space and have the same equivalent cancer risk as women. Whereas with this neuro ophthalmic syndrome, it seems to be expressed more in men."
The results of the mice study will be analysed after their return in January.
