What happens to your muscles after months without gravity? ๐Ÿ’ช Back on Earth, our astronaut Sophie Adenot took part in the Sarcolab experiment. The experiment measures how spaceflight affects the muscles and tendons in the lower legs, helping scientists understand how the human body adapts to microgravity and recovers after returning to Earth. Sophie took part in these post-flight tests at :envihab, the DLR research facility in Cologne, Germany. Know someone whoโ€™d find this interesting? Share it with them! ๐Ÿ“ฒ #ESA #Astronaut #Space
