ISS Photography By Scott Kelly

The International Space Station has developed exercise equipment, including treadmills and resistance devices to limit muscle atrophy in a low gravity environment. Weightlessness causes body fluids in astronauts to accumulate in the upper half of the body, leading to facial edema and unwelcome side effects. Studies on astronauts have suggested that weightlessness leads to vision problems due to increased intracranial pressure changing the shape of the eyeball.
Psychological studies
The study will also require the astronauts to keep a journal, and will study the psychological effects of living in a confined space for an extended length of time. Kornienko said of his experiences on Expedition 23/24: "The thing you miss there most of all is the Earth itself, I missed smells. I missed trees, I even dreamt of them. I even hallucinated. I thought I smelled a real fire and something being barbecued on it! I ended up putting pictures of trees on the walls to cheer up. You do miss the Earth there."
