News India Live, Digital Desk: Imagine, you are in a place where there is no big hospital, no oxygen in the open air, and no way to run away and ask for help. The International Space Station (ISS) is one such ‘modern miracle’, where scientists stay for months and do research. But lately everything has not been normal here.
What is the whole matter?
NASA has officially announced that it is bringing the members of its ‘Crew-11’ mission back to Earth ahead of schedule. The biggest and only reason for this is ‘Medical emergency’ It is being told. However, NASA has not yet disclosed the name of the scientist or the disease due to which this step had to be taken, but experts say that this decision has been taken in very serious circumstances.
Why such a big step?
Zero gravity in space has a deep impact on the body. Weak bones, vision problems and heart problems are common there. But when NASA starts preparing to send the capsule and return in the middle of the mission, then it should be understood that the matter is not of minor fever or cold and cough. It is almost impossible to perform any operation or surgery in space, so ‘return’ is the last option left.
return full of challenges
It’s easy to say “come back,” but reentering Earth’s atmosphere from a space station is a deadly journey. Bringing a sick passenger to safety under extreme pressure and friction is a huge test for NASA’s medical and engineering team. The entire control room is currently on mission mode so that the condition of the sick member does not deteriorate further during the return.
Wave of concern for scientists
This incident also has an emotional impact on the other members of Crew-11. The suffering of a companion and the mission remaining incomplete shakes the morale of the astronauts. But as NASA always says—”Human lives take precedence over scientific research.”
Now everyone’s eyes are on when and how ‘Crew-11’ lands safely in the sea or on land. We all wish for his safe return
