Sunita Williams returns after 10 months in space, facing health challenges like muscle loss and bone density reduction—common risks NASA astronauts face post-landing.
Sunita Williams, along with NASA astronaut Barry Wilmore, is set to return to Earth after spending 10 months on the International Space Station (ISS), facing several health challenges upon their return. The prolonged exposure to microgravity can lead to muscle atrophy, bone density loss, and cardiovascular changes, necessitating a period of rehabilitation to readjust to Earth's gravity. Additionally, they may experience balance and coordination issues due to the vestibular system's adaptation to space, and their immune systems might be temporarily weakened, increasing susceptibility to infections. NASA has developed specific protocols and rehabilitation programs to help astronauts recover and regain their health post-mission, ensuring they can safely reintegrate into normal life.
