CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) – NASA has signed an agreement with a California-based startup to develop and market a nasal spray for motion sickness, the U.S. space agency said on Friday. NASA will work with privately owned Epiomed Therapeutics of Irvine, California, on the nasal spray, which has been shown to be a fast-acting treatment for motion sickness. About half the astronauts who fly in space develop space motion sickness, with symptoms that anyone nauseated or light-headed from more terrestrial forms of travel will recognize. …

A simple urine test could soon reveal more about a person's bones than X-rays, US researchers said Tuesday after publishing results of an early phase study funded by NASA.
The best time to do a little renovating is when everyone is out of the house — something homeowners know and something NASA appears to appreciate too. The space agency is experiencing empty-nest syndrome in a big way, with the shuttles heading for museum retirement and the next manned American space vehicle not scheduled to fly until 2016 — unless it’s 2018 or 2025 or who knows when?
( Kansas State University ) Using an obstacle course of lunar tasks, a Kansas State University research team is trying to develop a way to measure astronauts’ physical capacities and keep them safe in space. They are supported by a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Astronauts exercise daily with mandated, special trainers who assist with physical exercise programs needed to maintain physical health while in space, Nash said. Andrew H. Hawkins, a professor at the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, …
