Shenzhou-23 Space Flight Mission's three-person crew has successfully tested
an upgraded in-orbit mass measurement device at China's space station.
As the three astronauts approach their 50th day in orbit with a steadily expanding roster of scientific experiments,
according to the China Manned Space Agency.
Besides testing the new device, astronauts Zhu Yangzhu Zhang Zhiyun
and Li Jiaying carried out a series of experiments in space life sciences and human research over the past week.
For the musculoskeletal loading study, they conducted plantar pressure measurement, lower limb biomechanical testing,
and muscle tendon characterization during running and resistance exercises under different load conditions.
As well as collecting data on plantar pressure, joint kinematics and motion images,
and muscle parameters to map the characteristics of changes in muscle-tendon interactions.
The crew also used near-infrared brain functional imaging
equipment to perform neuroergonomic experiments with multitask paradigms.
Ground researchers will use the collected data to study how the space environment affects astronauts' cognitive control.
The trio continued their daily in-orbit exercise to counteract the physiological effects of weightlessness.
China launched the Shenzhou 23 crewed spaceship on May 24. The mission is notable for including
