Sultan Al Neyadi stays busy with two months to go on historic space voyageSarwat Nasir Jun 26, 2023
UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi is entering the final weeks of his historic mission on the International Space Station.
He arrived on the orbiting outpost on March 3 to carry out the Arab world's longest space mission and is due to return in mid-August.
Since arriving, Dr Al Neyadi has completed several scientific experiments, and performed the first spacewalk by an Arab astronaut when he ventured outside into the darkness of space for an eight-hour maintenance assignment.

Lack of gravity brings physical changes as Al Neyadi adapts to life in spaceSarwat Nasir Jun 14, 2023
Doctors say Emirati astronaut’s face has swelled due to shift in body fluids in orbitDr Al Neyadi in front of the cupola on March 14. Photo: NasaThe physical appearance of UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi has changed significantly since he arrived at the International Space Station three months ago.
Doctors in the UAE have said that Dr Al Neyadi is experiencing what is a common transition for astronauts in space.
The 42-year-old is experiencing what is also known as 'Moon face', a phenomenon caused by a shift in body fluids, leading to facial swelling.
The condition, which is not permanent, goes away once astronauts return to Earth, with gravity pulling fluids back down in the body.Sultan Al Neyadi a day after he arrived at the International Space Station and, right, on the station a month agoDr Sana Kausar, an aviation medical examiner at King’s College Hospital Dubai, told The National that weightlessness can take its toll on the human body.
“There is a change in the components of blood and cellular fluid. This also contributes to fluid shift,” she said.
“On Earth, gravity pulls fluid downwards and this can redistribute in space, causing ‘Moon face’ in astronauts.
“In the pictures, we can see that Sultan’s face is noticeably puffier.
“It looks like the ‘Moon face’ we see commonly in astronauts.”
She added that astronauts recover “once gravity kicks back in and affects the fluid redistribution.”
Dr Pavithra Reddy, a specialist in internal medicine at Prime Medical Centre, warned that other health issues can also develop from the swelling.
“Earth's gravity keeps the blood flow throughout the body in order, but in zero gravity, most of the blood and other fluids move up to the chest and facial areas,” she said.
“Therefore, areas of chest and face bloats up as you can in Sultan Al Neyadi's face.
“Due to the high fluid concentration in the facial area, stuffy nose, reduced sense of smell, cold and headaches are normal to occur.”
UAE's first astronaut also got 'a bigger head'
Hazza Al Mansouri, the first UAE citizen to fly to space in 2019, also noted a change in his physical appearance during his eight-day trip when his face swelled up only after two days on the ISS.
“Many changes have happened in my body,” Maj Al Mansouri said at the time, as reported by local media.
“The size of my head grew bigger because of the rush of fluids upwards, and my sense of smell also changed.”UAE astronaut Hazza Al Mansouri before going to space and, right, while on the ISSDr Kausar said that long-duration missions can cause the process of ageing to happen faster.
Maj Al Mansouri was on the ISS for a short stay, but Dr Al Neyadi is there for six months, which is considered a long-duration mission.
“On Earth, ageing affects the cardiovascular and other systems and these changes are seen 10-fold faster in space than on Earth,” Dr Kausar said.
“The human body is adapted to the gravity we have on Earth and would take time to adapt to longer-term exposure to weightlessness, but shorter-term exposure is usually recoverable.”
Nasa astronaut Scott Kelly spent a total of 520 days on the space station, with a consecutive 340 days in 2015 and 2016.
His health was compared with his twin brother on Earth.
It was found that Mr Kelly's eyesight, height and health were dramatically affected by zero gravity.
His heart shrank by 25 per cent, and after one year aboard the ISS, Nasa researchers found he had grown 5cm and was taller than his identical twin brother Mark, who is also an astronaut.
Exercising in space to keep healthy
Dr Al Neyadi has spoken about how astronauts are required to exercise for at least two hours daily to keep healthy.
Bone and muscle mass decreases the longer an astronaut stays in microgravity.
This is why space agencies make it mandatory for their astronauts to use the treadmill and other exercise equipment on the ISS daily.https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/uae-in-space/2023/06/14/lack-of-gravity-brings-physical-changes-as-al-neyadi-adapts-to-life-in-space/6)

One of the comics I read on the ISS is that of Tintin - a visionary series that was originally written in the 1950s that dreamt of space travel 🚀 even before humanity took its first leap into orbit.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1677662770861420544From space, I salute earth. 🌍
I salute our homeland and its leaders. I salute all those who carried Zayed’s Ambition in their hearts and aim high to the sky.
The dream has come true and now we dream bigger.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1633365307719929857Sharing with you my first views of Earth from the Cupola Observational Module aboard the ISS. The further we journey from Earth, the more we realize just how precious it truly is. Let us cherish and preserve this incredible planet we call home.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1633706644390412288On Earth, exercising is important. In space, it's vital. Aboard the International Space Station, we exercise for 2.5 hours every day to avoid muscle atrophy and bone loss triggered by microgravity.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1634144217088786433As part of my set of experiments on the ISS, I was excited to take part in the "Cardinal Heart 2.0" study by Stanford University. Through this experiment, we are exploring the effects of clinical drugs on heart cells in microgravity using heart tissues.
Discoveries from such studies could help prevent cardiovascular risk for space explorers and patients with heart disease on Earth.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1640368944891437057Water is a precious resource in space. It is used to create clean air by separating oxygen from hydrogen, and it is also recycled to provide a continuous supply of clean water.
In these photos, I'm working on the tank that recycles water, while wearing a PPE kit to prevent contamination.
Ensuring a well-maintained life support system is a key task for astronauts, particularly during long-duration missions.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1641823218687176705It's fun to test the laws of physics on the International Space Station, where gravity is almost non-existent. In this video I chose to test with you Newton's first law in space.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1642908159860781060Being chosen as the first Arab astronaut to undertake a spacewalk alongside NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen is a great honour and responsibility.
I am eagerly awaiting this historic moment, for which I have trained extensively at the Johnson Space Center. I am looking forward to represent my country and continue the exceptional journey started by generations of astronauts before me.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1644009114144501760I am proud to conduct an experiment in the MALETH project, which will advance precision-based medicine for type 2 diabetes.
🇲🇹🇺🇸🇬🇧🇧🇪🇸🇦🇦🇪 By joining forces with global research partners and collaborators, we are harnessing the unique conditions of space to push the boundaries of knowledge.
Over 500 million people worldwide have diabetes, and we are working together to provide them with better treatment options.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1645780842776592385Worked with my fellow crew to send research samples back to Earth onboard SpaceX's 27th Dragon cargo mission, which I am happy to hear reached Earth safely. Here, you can see me accessing the Minus Eighty-Degree Laboratory Freezer (MELFI), that can reach temperatures as low as -100°C, to preserve some samples. Working in space is fun even when everything wants to float away.
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1647963343456464897Tomorrow, we eagerly anticipate the landing of #RashidRover on the Moon, as part of the first Emirati and Arab lunar mission🌑🇦🇪
While the success rate for such missions has not exceeded 50%, we are confident in our team at MBRSC.
I wish them all the best for this historic voyage
https://twitter.com/Astro_Alneyadi/status/1650481739125456899Tomorrow, Steve Bowen and I will do a spacewalk outside the ISS to change the Radio Frequency Group unit and prepare for the installation of solar panels. After a long period of training, we are ready to take on the challenge and create a new milestone for our mission.
