To counteract the muscle and bone loss that microgravity can cause, the Artemis II crew will commit to 30 minutes of daily exercise. Orion is equipped with a practical solution, the fly wheel, also used to facilitate aerobic exercises like rowing, and resistance workouts such as squats and deadlift. It operates as a yo-yo, providing resistance proportional to the force applied, with a maximum capacity of 180 kg. (Credit: NASA)
