Bodies in the space environment

The Bodies in the space environment (BISE) project is an 18-month-long project on the International Space Station (ISS) that is exploring the perceived direction of up during long duration exposure to microgravity. This project is part of an ongoing project that has been exploring the perception of up during short duration microgravity exposure on flights similar to the Vomit Comet.[1]
