Researchers simulated microgravity to study how sperm from humans, pigs, and mice behaves during fertilization-related processes.
Human sperm remained able to swim but showed altered navigation, a problem the study said could be addressed with progesterone cues.
Mouse experiments showed a 30 percent drop in successfully fertilized eggs, and pig sperm also showed reduced fertilization success.
The findings add urgency to reproductive biology research for long-term lunar and Mars settlement plans.

Researchers want to use the system to study implantation, uterine disorders, and eventually a full menstrual cycle.
The work has not yet been published, so the result remains preliminary.
