The WISE (Women International Space Simulation for Exploration) study, conducted in 2005-2006, was a bed rest study of 24 female volunteers who stayed 100 days at the Toulouse Space Clinic, 60 of which were spent lying down to simulate the effects of weightlessness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The study took place in two sessions: from April to June 2005 for the first 12 volunteers, and from September to December for the other 12.
This bed rest study was organised by MEDES for the French, European, American and Canadian Space Agencies (CNES, ESA, NASA and CSA).<\/p>\n

An essential study to advance research<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As space flight is not a common occurrence, ground-based studies are essential to prepare for long-duration crewed flights.
Twenty-four female volunteers took part in this study for 100 days, staying for 60 days with their bodies slightly tilted downwards (-6\u00b0) to simulate the physiological effects of a prolonged stay in weightlessness.
MEDES regularly conducts bed rest experiments but this was\u00a0the first long-term experiment with female volunteers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The aim of the experiment was to investigate\u00a0the extent to which diet and exercise can counteract the adverse effects of the prolonged absence of gravity<\/strong>, simulated by these bed rest conditions.<\/p>\n

The volunteers who took part in the study came from France, Great Britain, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, but also from Poland and the Czech Republic, a sign of the considerable interest in the WISE study among the new Member States of the European Union.<\/p>\n

Objectives of the study<\/h2>\n

The aims of the study were to assess the consequences of a long, simulated flight and to test the effectiveness of the countermeasures used.<\/p>\n

Internationally renowned scientific teams followed protocols to monitor the following :<\/p>\n
