NASA Commentator Brandi Dean speaks with Dr. Scott M. Smith of the Biomedical Research and Environmental Sciences Division at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston about his nutritional experiments Biochemical Profile and Pro K which are being conducted with crew members on the International Space Station. Smith is investigating the different ways in which a body on a long mission in space needs and uses nutrients as compared to one on Earth, with an eye toward ensuring the health of the explorers who will make deep space flights beyond Earth orbit in the years to come.
