The experiment will allow JAXA scientists to establish precise stress markers for astronauts who have to spend long periods of time in small, confined space during space missions.

Individuals willing to participate in JAXA’s experiment must be in good health and aged 20 to 55.

Test subjects will spend 14 days and 13 nights in an isolated setup created within the Tsukuba Space Center in Japan.

The participants will be asked to carry out various tasks in the simulated space station to allow scientists to examine their stress levels.

After spending 14 days in the simulated space station, participants will receive 380,000 yen from JAXA.

Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Joe Manchin (D-WV) all effectively voted to limit patients’ access to abortion after just 20 weeks.
