Christophe Galfard reçoit le metteur en scène et auteur Tiago Rodrigues, l'entrepreneuse, fondatrice d'Interstellar Lab Barbara Belvisi et la responsable Science de la Vie et Médecine spatiale au CNES Guillemette Gauquelin Koch pour parler de comment vivre dans l'espace.
A Soft Cell in Microgravity
There are many shapes that can be tiled to fill space, but nearly all of them have sharp corners. Last year, mathematicians identified a new class of shapes, known as “soft cells,” that feature curved edges and faces but very few sharp corners. Like traditional polyhedrals, soft cells can tile to fill a space completely without overlapping or gapping.
Now the researchers, with some help from astronauts aboard the ISS, have brought one of their soft cells to life. Using an edge skeleton to guide the shape, astronaut Tibor Kapu filled the skeleton with water, which, in microgravity, formed a perfect soft cell, complete with faces curved by surface tension to their minimal area. See it in action below. (Image and video credit: HUNOR/NASA; research credit: G. Domokos et al.; via Oxford Mathematics)

The most commonly known microgravity environment can be found aboard the ISS which is located in low-earth orbit at an altitude of around 400 km, orbiting Earth approximately 15 times per day in what is considered free fall.
🤮 The ups and downs of space research

Microgravity experienced during spaceflight poses potential health risks to astronauts' cardiovascular systems. Determining how to mitigate these health risks is challenging, as countermeasures are tested in Earth's gravity. But what if there was a way to perform research in microgravity, without leaving the atmosphere?

How the zero-g coffee cup works. Scroll down a bit for a video.

The conventional way of ingesting liquids while living aboard the International Space Station requires sucking on a tube or nozzle that’s attached to a fluid-filled pouch. Now, thanks to some American ingenuity, crew members are able to drink beverages from a cup. An invention, dubbed the zero-g cup, takes into account how liquids behave in a weightless environment and uses the laws of physics to direct fluid to the cup’s rim where it can be sipped. The motion used to drink out of the cup is the same as it is on Earth. The cup also has an added benefit: it’s spill-free. Watch the video to learn more. ||
The #crew 👩🚀 will in some ways be human guinea pigs 🐀 (10 days in 9m³).
Experiments will monitor how their bodies are affected by space 🌌. "We want to be able to study in depth the effect of the #microgravity and the #radiation ☢️".
On arrival, the astronauts will begin a #dangerous part of the mission as they re-enter 🔥 the Earth's #atmosphere https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy7pegvz17yo
A truly global endeavor, the International Space Station has been visited by more than 280 people from 23 countries and a variety of international and commercial spacecraft.
The unique #Microgravity laboratory has hosted more than 4,000 experiments from more than 5,000 researchers in more than 110 countries.
