The find, made as part of NASA’s twin study of Scott and Mark Kelly, could have major implications for prolonged trips – to the red planet, for instance. Northwestern researchers are comparing the effect of living at zero gravity for a year on a human’s gut microbiota – the ‘bugs’ found naturally in the gastrointestinal tract to aid digestion.

Northwestern University researchers studying the gut bacteria of Scott and Mark Kelly, NASA astronauts and identical twin brothers, as part of a unique human study have found that changes to certain gut “bugs” occur in space. The Northwestern team is one of 10 NASA-funded research groups studying the Kelly twins to learn how living in space for a long period of time – such as a mission to Mars – affects the human body.
