Mission Alpha
Mission Alpha refers to a significant space mission undertaken by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French space agency CNES. It focuses on testing the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body and studying how to improve astronaut health during missions. The mission typically involves sending astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for extended periods, where they conduct scientific research, perform experiments, and experience living in microgravity. The insights gained are crucial for future deep-space missions, such as those to Mars, as they help ensure astronauts can stay healthy and safe during prolonged space travel.
