A drop of blood for the needs of science - the sixth chapter in a vertical series on experiments in orbit A single blood test can help scientists understand how an astronaut's body survived the flight into orbit. How exactly - says Anna Shantseva. Watch the new issue: What happens to human blood during a space flight? What three components of blood changes do scientists study? How does the "immunoreceptor" experiment study innate immune cells? See more about the scientific work of Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dobrov and Anna Kikina in the previous chapters: What is the penguin costume for? What diseases on earth are treated with the "dry immersion" method. Which experiment investigates the effect of stress on the bodies of astronauts? How is the vestibular system prepared for gravity? What can the sound of the astronauts' breathing tell us about their health?
