Florida: NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who returned to Earth on early Wednesday after spending nine months in space, will undergo a 45-day rehabilitation program to help them readjust to Earth's gravity.
According to NASA, the astronauts are expected to undergo an extensive rehabilitation program which is planned to be scheduled for two hours a day. The Astronaut Strength, Conditioning, and Rehabilitation (ASCR) program will begin on landing day and consists of three phases: an initial focus on mobility and muscle strengthening, followed by proprioceptive exercises and cardiovascular conditioning, and finally, the third and longest phase, which will focus on functional development.
According to an earlier research by NASA, the astronauts tend to face numerous health issues such as dizziness, nausea, bone loss, and weakened muscles.
While astronauts typically regain normal fitness levels within 45 days, recovery time varies based on individual physiology, sometimes taking months or even years.
As per NASA, the four astronauts of the Crew-9 mission will undergo various medical procedures before the rehabilitation program begin.
The program is customised for each astronaut based on test results, medical status, and mission roles.

Will let my work talk: Raghav Chadha in Instagram post amid rift with AAP
New Delhi (PTI): Sidelined AAP Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Friday shared on Instagram a video titled "Voice Raised Price Paid", a compilation of clips of him raising various issues in Parliament, amid his ongoing rift with his party.
"With due respect, to those who are questioning my parliamentary performance, I will let my work do the talking," he said in the post.
The AAP on April 2 removed Chadha as its deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha and has accused him of shying away from raising his voice against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Centre in Parliament and instead engaging in "soft PR".
A combative Chadha has dismissed the party's allegations as "lies" and said that he went to Parliament to raise people's issues and not to create ruckus.
Since his removal as the AAP's deputy leader in the Upper House, Chadha has shared several videos and posts on social media, making it clear that he will not take his demotion lying down.
