Exploring the challenges of long-term spaceflights, this study focuses on the impact of microgravity on astronaut health, particularly cardiovascular function. It highlights the risks of syncope upon returning to Earth and investigates the potential of artificial gravity training using a short-arm human centrifuge to enhance orthostatic tolerance. The research aims to determine if such training can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of weightlessness, ensuring the crew's well-being during missions to distant destinations.
