CSA - Why do astronauts suffer motion sickness in space? (581 words) |
 | In reflecting on this observation and some of his experience in space life sciences, Dr Watt asked himself whether such a strategy might play a role in the motion sickness, or space adaptation syndrome, that affects about 50% of astronauts at the beginning of a space flight. |
| TRE was conducted in space during this flight by Canadian astronaut Bob Thirsk. |
| It was found that astronauts do indeed adopt a torso rotation strategy early in flight and that this may play a role in the motion sickness often experienced early in flight. |
