Space shuttle exercise
Space shuttle exercise. Astronaut Robert D. Cabana (mission commander) working out using an exercise bike on the Space Shuttle Endeavour while in Earth orbit. An extensive daily exercise regime is followed by astronauts to prevent muscle atrophy and the loss of bone tissue that can occur in the microgravity environment of space. Cabana was in space for over 280 hours during this mission. Photographed on 8 December 1998, during mission STS-88 to start building the International Space Station (ISS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dedication and determination of astronaut Robert D. Cabana during his mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in December 1998. In this image, we see Commander Cabana diligently working out on an exercise bike while in Earth orbit. The significance of this seemingly routine exercise becomes apparent when considering the challenges posed by the microgravity environment of space. Astronauts like Cabana follow a rigorous daily exercise regime to combat muscle atrophy and prevent the loss of bone tissue that can occur in weightlessness. During his impressive 280-hour mission, which formed part of STS-88 aimed at constructing the International Space Station (ISS), Cabana understood the importance of maintaining his physical health amidst such extraordinary conditions. By pedaling away on that bicycle-like ergonometer, he not only prevented muscle deterioration but also safeguarded his bone mass from depletion due to calcium loss. This photograph serves as a testament to NASA's commitment to ensuring astronauts' well-being during manned spaceflight missions. It reminds us that even in outer space, where gravity is absent, humans strive to conquer adversity through perseverance and innovation. Captured by Science Photo Library, this remarkable image encapsulates both the awe-inspiring beauty and scientific rigor behind human exploration beyond our planet's boundaries.
