NASA to pay $19000 to people for spending two months in bed

This project has been started to help scientists to study how weightlessness affects the human body.

(Web Desk) – National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and European Space Agency (ESA) will pay people $19000 for spending 60 days in their bed. This project has been started to help scientists to study how weightlessness affects the human body, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) said. “During the three-month study, two thirds of the test participants will be ‘rotated’ each day while lying in the DLR short-arm centrifuge in the: envihab aerospace medical research facility,” the statement stated. The 12 female and 12 male volunteers will spend 60 days in the beds, according to DLR. "Both effects are similar to what astronauts experience in space," said Leticia Vega, Associate Chief Scientist for International Collaborations for NASA’s Human Research Program. "Although the effects of weightlessness are primarily investigated on the International Space Station, analogues such as :envihab are helpful when studying certain research topics under controlled conditions on Earth. These findings will later be validated on the ISS," Vega said.
