Spin Your Thesis! Human Edition logo

The Spin Your Thesis! – Human Edition (SYT-HE) programme offers university students (bachelor, master and PhD level) the opportunity to perform non-invasive experiments investigating the human physiological response to exercises employed on the International Space Station when performed in 1Gz (upright) and in simulated 1Gz on a human centrifuge.

A combination of artificial gravity provided by a human centrifuge and exercise has been proposed as way to mitigate the physiological de-conditioning associated with microgravity and thereby support human health during long-term space missions. Researchers need to define what kind of exercise should be part of a new training protocol during centrifugation.
