The effects of spaceflight are induced by three concomitant factors: poor social interactions in a reduced living space, microgravity, and the radiation bath. To understand how these parameters can influence behaviors, animal studies are being carried out, modelling each of these parameters independently or not of the others. These studies allow to challenge different strategies of countermeasures to prevent spaceflight multisystemic deconditioning. In the NEBULA project, we developed an original suspension system that allows interaction between 2 conspecifics, to tackle the effects of microgr
