To say I’m excited is the biggest understatement ever!! Our #BFR exercise research is launching to space…TONIGHT, 10 years since @NUaerospacemed was officially formed. Feeling so proud of what we have achieved. @_LukeHughes_ @NUSportEx @NorthumbriaUni @spaceX @framonauts

Over the last 4 years, we have been developing the Variable Gravity Suspension System (#VGSS), enabling us to investigate novel space exercise countermeasures in simulated micro-/hypo- (reduced) gravity. This work will help astronauts stay fit and healthy on the Moon πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸš€πŸš€πŸ’ͺπŸŒ–.
