In the first half of 2019, 20 volunteers took part in a new study to simulate weightlessness using an original model, dry immersion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This model simulates the effects of weightlessness on the human body on the ground and is used to test a new preventive method designed to minimise the negative effects of weightlessness on the human body.<\/p>\n

The study, initiated by CNES, was carried out in the MEDES Space Clinic at the Rangueil University Hospital in Toulouse.<\/p>\n

What is the dry immersion model?<\/h2>\n

Volunteers taking part in the study were placed in large bathtubs filled with warm water, but are insulated from it by a waterproof sheet attached to the edge of the bathtub. They were therefore surrounded by water and “floated” without any other supporting measure. This situation, interpreted by the organism as a complete lack of support, is very similar to that of microgravity.<\/p>\n

The model thus makes it possible to quickly reproduce the effects of weightlessness on sensory-motor and cardiovascular systems.<\/p>\n

Five days of immersion for space research<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A first study was carried out in 2015 and a second in 2016-2017. In the first study the volunteers were “immersed for three days”. For the second study,\u00a0the 20 volunteers were immersed for five days<\/strong>. The resulting physiological changes were then observed, recorded and analysed by nearly 10 scientific teams previously selected by CNES.
In particular, the aim of this new study was to get more in-depth knowledge of the physiological mechanisms involved and, in particular, to study the redistribution of body fluids caused by immersion and their repercussions on the brain and eyes.<\/p>\n

The volunteers stayed at the clinic for 12 days for the study, divided up as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n
