Johns Hopkins University sent 48 bioengineered heart tissue samples to the International Space Station .

They were monitored for 30 days and compared to identical samples on Earth .

The researchers found heart cells "really don't fare well in space," beating with about half the strength of the control samples.

Previous studies have found that, after returning to Earth , astronauts exhibit reduced heart muscle function.
