Author(s): Mahima Chowdhury, Neil Raj Chaudhary and Sricha Raj

After sending a number of spacecraft in the zone of microgravity with astronauts, it becomes important for us to know about the different health hazards that follow. Some of which may be short while the impact of others might be lifelong and detrimental to one's health. Effects such as motion sickness,changes in vision, motor incoordination, skeleto-muscular problems, cardiovascular problems, skin allergies etc. are documented for the astronauts entering into the microgravity. This study is important since a number of useful experiments are carried out in space, but for which we need to prioritize the health of our people. In order to alleviate the pain and suffering studies are carried out.
