The HUNOR Hungarian Astronaut Program carries out 25 scientific experiments during the Axiom-4 mission. An additional 5 projects, which are better suited to the constraints of other missions, bring the total HUNOR Scientific Portfolio to 30. These experiments originate from Hungarian universities, companies, research centers, startups, and nonprofit educational organizations. Their goals include developing and commercializing innovative space instruments, conducting research that can only be performed in space, and raising awareness of the natural sciences.<\/span><\/p>

The wide variety of projects\u2014ranging from Earth observation, materials science, dosimetry, atmospheric physics, fluid dynamics, data mining, virtual reality, drug discovery, medicine, microbiology, to psychology\u2014demonstrates that space research is becoming nearly omnipresent, both within Hungarian science and on the international stage.<\/span><\/p>

HUNOR mission specialist Tibor Kapu is also contributing to additional experiments through international collaborations, which are listed on Axiom Space\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>website<\/a><\/span>.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Tibor began conducting HUNOR experiments aboard the International Space Station.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

DNA-REPAIR researchers are analyzing how cosmic radiation damages the genetic material of living organisms and what repair mechanisms could be used to protect against it. The animal models are fruit flies, and Hungarian scientists have tuned the subpopulation under study to greater activity with a promising enzyme pretreatment. Tibor placed the jars containing the fruit flies used as animal models in the Columbus module and activated the RANDAM dosimeter, which measures the radiation exposure and living conditions of the fruit flies, including temperature, pressure, humidity, and vibration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Space radiation damages the active ingredients in medicines, reducing their shelf life. Astronauts must rule out the possibility of the active ingredient deteriorating or, in extreme cases, becoming poisonous before taking it. To do this, they must examine the drugs mixed with water under a microscope, but mixing with water is difficult in zero gravity. In the M4D experiment, astronauts tested a novel ‘lab-on-a-chip’ development based on the principle of capillary action, which seeks to solve this problem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As part of the CORVUS educational project, Tibor presented the RANDAM miniaturized dosimeter, talked about cosmic radiation affecting astronauts, and also reported on the legal regulations governing space exploration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The RANDAM miniaturized personal dosimeter served to protect the health of astronauts on another day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

SANS (Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome), which occurs as a result of microgravity, can be a serious problem for astronauts. In the END-SANS experiment today, astronauts tested a new method of drug administration using an artificial microfiber structure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The ENPERCHAR experiment uses environmental psychology methods to study the relationship between astronauts and their workspace. Astronauts also contributed data to this experiment throughout the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Work continued on the SAET experiment, which studies the associative learning of astronauts under changing gravitational conditions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The astronauts also successfully performed measurements for the VISPRO experiment, which aims to better understand blood redistribution in weightlessness through ultrasound examination of the temporal artery.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The astronauts collected data as part of the SINGREAD experiment, which examines neural feedback in the small muscle group responsible for moving the vocal cords, as well as changes in the human voice in weightlessness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Work continued on the SAET experiment, which studies associative learning in astronauts under changing gravitational conditions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As part of the CORVUS educational project, Tibor talked about life on the International Space Station and shared tips on how to adapt to this challenging environment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Tibor documented the ESEL3D materials science experiment, which tests 3D-printed samples of different materials and internal geometries for damage caused by vibration during space travel and cosmic radiation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

During the SBHA project, Tibor answered children’s questions about the world of space exploration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Tibor collected\u00a0data from the Earth’s magnetic field\u00a0for the IMU-DRS project.<\/span><\/p>

The CINCINNATI experiment looks for areas of the astronauts’ bodies that heat up significantly during their daily activities, with the aim of designing clothing materials tailored to space conditions. Today’s work by the crew contributed to the collection of data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

DNA-REPAIR researchers are analyzing how cosmic radiation damages the genetic material of living organisms and what repair mechanisms could be used to protect against it. The animal models are fruit flies, and Hungarian scientists have tuned a promising enzyme in the studied subpopulation to greater activity through pretreatment. Tibor’s tasks include monitoring the condition of the fruit flies.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

During the MAGOR experiment, the effects of astronauts’ special diet, lifestyle, stress, and weightlessness were studied by analyzing their microbiomes through oral, urine, and intestinal flora tests. The astronauts contributed to the research by providing samples.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Tibor conducted experiments as part of the DIROS project, which investigates the physics of planetary atmospheres.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Experiments continued in the MAGYAR project, where researchers use virtual reality to study the effects of weightlessness on astronauts’ motor skills, dexterity, and manual dexterity in particular. It is a known problem that blood redistribution in weightlessness impairs brain function. In order to plan for changes in astronauts’ work capacity, it is important to understand the details of this deterioration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
