This study will involve collecting anthropometric data (body measurements) using digital still and video imagery and a tape measure to measure segmental length, height, depth, and circumference data for all body segments (i.e., chest, waist, hip, arms, legs, etc.) from astronauts for pre-, post-, and in-flight conditions. In-Flight Data Collection: Circumference measurements with a tape measure along with photographic and video imagery. Investigation Summaries

Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Cardio Ox: Steven H. Platts, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: Future human space travel missions may increase the risk of oxidative and inflammatory damage primarily from radiation, but also from psychological stress, reduced physical activity, diminished nutritional standards and exposure to altered oxygen levels during extravehicular activity. There is evidence that higher levels of oxidative and inflammatory stress and associated damage to blood vessels contribute to cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to measure levels of biomarkers in blood and urine that are affected by oxidative and inflammatory stress before, during, and after long duration spaceflight and relate them to the risk of developing atherosclerosis. In-Flight Data Collection: Ultrasound scans (carotid/brachial) with ECG recording, blood draw and 24-h Urine collection. Investigation Summaries

Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Intervertebral Disc Damage: Alan Hargens, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: The goal of this study is to use state-of- the-art imaging technologies to comprehensibly characterize and quantify space-flight induced changes in disc morphology, biochemistry, metabolism, and kinematics. Subjects will be imaged before and after prolonged spaceflight. These data will be correlated with low back pain that spontaneously arises in space so as to establish pain and disc damage mechanisms that will serve as a basis for future countermeasure development. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves MRI testing. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries Functional Task Test: Stuart M.C. Lee & Barry A. Spiering Brief Research Summary: The primary objective of the Functional Task Test (FTT) project is to develop and evaluate an integrated set of functional and physiological tests, and then use those tests to determine how post flight changes in sensorimotor, cardiovascular, and muscle physiology impact functional performance (e.g. standing, ladder climbing, and hatch opening). Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; series of timed muscle performance tests
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Hip QCT: Jean Sibonga, Ph.D. & Thomas Lang, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: The primary objective of Hip QCT is to monitor changes in hip sub-regions in response to in-flight countermeasures (CM). This QCT study will also demonstrate how countermeasures that involve mechanical loading of the hip (e.g., exercise) could be distinguished from CMs that involve biochemical suppression of bone resorption (e.g., bisphosphonates) because these two categories of CMs affect different bone compartments of the hip (anti-resorptives on trabecular bone, exercise on cortical bone). Finally, QCT will enable hip strength estimations by Finite Element [FE] Modeling – which detects more changes in hip strength due to space than with DXA modality. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves QCT assessment. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Manual Control: Stephen Moore, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: Lack of gravity causes sensorimotor deficits post-landing. This experiment's comprehensive cognitive/sensorimotor test battery will determine the relative contribution of specific mechanisms (including sleepiness and fatigue) underlying decrements in post-flight operator proficiency. These results will be critical in determining whether sensorimotor countermeasures are required for piloted landings and early surface operations, and what functional areas countermeasures should target. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves physiological and performance measures. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Investigation Summaries Spinal Ultrasound : Scott A.

The purpose of the Bisphosphonates study is to determine whether an antiresorptive agent, in conjunction with the routine in-flight exercise program, protects International Space Station (ISS) crewmembers from the regional decreases in bone mineral density documented on previous ISS missions. Control subjects will not ingest the bisphosphonate pill in order to provide a comparison. In-Flight Data Collection: 24-h Urine collection, Diet/Exercise Logs Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 2013 Human Research Program (HRP) Andres Ovalles Investigation Summaries Ocular Health: Christian Otto, M.D. Brief Research Summary: The International Space Station (ISS) Ocular Health Protocol aims to systematically gather physiological data to characterize the Risk of Microgravity-Induced Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure on crewmembers assigned to a 6 month ISS increment. The data collected will mirror Medical Requirements Integration Documents (MRID) requirements and testing performed during annual medical exams with an increase in the frequency of in-flight and post flight testing to more accurately assess changes that occur in the visual, vascular, and central nervous systems upon exposure to microgravity and the resulting fluid shifts. Monitoring in-flight changes, in addition to post flight recovery, is the main focus of this protocol.
