    Area of Science:

    • Space biology
    • Gravitational biology

    Context:

    • Investigations over two decades on various biological objects in real and simulated space flights.
    • Understanding the biological role of gravity and adaptation mechanisms to weightlessness.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the effects of altered gravity on biological systems.
    • To assess the suitability of different organisms for future space research.

    Summary:

    • Experiments on microorganisms, plants, fish, and amphibians in space flights support theoretical studies on weightlessness.
    • Analysis indicates molecular processes are gravity-indifferent, while energy metabolism is crucial for adaptation to zero-gravity.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into the fundamental biological effects of spaceflight.
    • Informs the selection of model organisms and strategies for future space exploration and research.
