- Gezeravci, Turkey’s first astronaut, studies ISS Oxygen Saturation.
- Turkish Space Agency, Nisantasi Univ. use AI for low gravity research.
- Mission highlights Turkey’s global space commitment.
In a historic stride for Turkey’s space exploration endeavors, Alper Gezeravci, the nation’s first astronaut, is spearheading a pioneering Oxygen Saturation experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The Turkish Space Agency announced today that the research, in collaboration with Istanbul-based Nisantasi University, aims to unveil the nuanced effects of low gravity on the human body by meticulously calculating the oxygen levels in the air using cutting-edge artificial intelligence.
Launched as part of the Ax-3 mission, Gezeravci and his team embarked on their celestial journey from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. After a successful launch, the spacecraft docked with the ISS, marking the commencement of an extensive two-week research stint.
The significance of the experiment lies in its quest to identify disparities and potential health disorders induced by prolonged exposure to low gravity conditions. Leveraging AI support, the researchers intend to analyze and comprehend the intricate dynamics of oxygen saturation in the confined environment of the space station.
The Turkish astronaut is tasked with overseeing 13 out of the more than 30 scientific experiments planned for the duration of the mission. The diverse range of experiments is set to contribute valuable insights into various aspects of space exploration, enhancing our understanding of how the human body responds to extended periods in microgravity.
The groundbreaking research underscores Turkey’s commitment to advancing its space program and fostering international collaborations in space exploration. As the global community eagerly awaits the findings of the Oxygen Saturation experiment, Alper Gezeravci’s mission represents a significant stride in Turkey’s aspirations to play a prominent role in the ever-expanding realm of space exploration.
