Imagine pedaling a bicycle in space, surrounded by the vastness of the cosmos. Sounds like a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie, but for ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, it’s just another day at the office. As part of a virtual reality experiment, Mogensen will wear a headset while using the Space Station’s exercise bike, making the experience more immersive and exciting.
The Virtual Reality for Exercise experiment aims to explore the effectiveness of virtual reality in motivating astronauts to exercise on the Space Station. By creating a more immersive environment, the experiment hopes to increase the duration and intensity of workout sessions, which is crucial for maintaining the health and well-being of astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The new exercise bike, called Flight Ergometer or Fergo for short, arrived on the Space Station in August 2023 and replaces the current CEVIS bike, which has been in orbit since 2007. Fergo is lighter, smaller, and more powerful…

Biking in Space: ESA’s Virtual Reality Experiment 🚀
Are you ready to pedal your way through the cosmos? The European Space Agency (ESA) is taking exercise to new heights with their latest virtual reality experiment! 🌌
AstronautAndreas Mogensen is set to take part in this innovative experiment, where he will wear a virtual reality headset while using the Space Station’s exercise bike. The goal? To make exercising in space more immersive and exciting! 💪
The ESA has recently introduced a new exercise bike to theSpace Station, called the Flight Ergometer (Fergo). This state-of-the-art bike is lighter, smaller, and more powerful than its predecessor, the CEVIS bike. With the ability to handle 500 watts of power output during exercise, Fergo is a substantial improvement over the CEVIS’s 350 watts. 💥
But wait, there’s more! The virtual reality headset will transportAndreas to a virtual environment that…
