How does weightlessness affect the measurement of our heart signals? Researchers from Bielefeld University investigated this question in a special experiment aboard the Airbus A310 ZERO-G. During a parabolic flight, they examined how gravity-induced disturbances impact biosensor measurement data. On board was the newly developed “SpacePatch,” a small, portable sensor for recording movement and heart activity. The goal was to identify typical measurement artifacts that are hardly isolatable under normal conditions. The experiment provided valuable data—not only for space missions but also for medical diagnostics on Earth.
