Space Station Live: Subregional Bone Loss

One of the very first studies on board the space station characterized bone loss for crews flying long-duration missions. Results from this experiment may help investigators understand bone loss on Earth as well as in space. Lori Meggs with the station's Payload Operations Integration Center at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville caught up with Tom Lang, the lead scientist of the SubRegional Bone Investigation. He discussed his findings and what we're doing to counteract the affects of microgravity on bone tissue.
