Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Instabilities Driven by Proton Temperature Anisotropy in the Presence of Alpha Particles: Implications for Proton-temperature-anisotropy Constraint in the Solar Wind

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In situ measurements reveal that proton temperature anisotropy is ubiquitous in the solar wind. Various plasma instabilities have been proposed to regulate the distribution of the proton temperature anisotropy in the solar wind; detailed constraint ...

On the Physical Realization of Two‐dimensional Turbulence Fields in Magnetized Interplanetary Plasmas

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
Studies of solar-flare cosmic-ray particle transport in the interplanetary medium and data analysis of the fluctuating solar wind magnetic fields have revealed the existence of dominating, two-dimensional transverse magnetic fluctuations. Here it is demonstrated that the filamentation instability of counterstreaming magnetized plasmas provides a ...

Tackling aging and chronic disease: How space exploration and the ‘chameleon effect’ of pharmaceuticals can lead the way

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A common misconception surrounding space exploration is that humanity's pursuit of interplanetary travel, such as missions to Mars, is an escape from Earth. In reality, this endeavour offers an invaluable opportunity to address critical biomedical challenges here at home.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Collisionless Shocks: Contemporary State After Three Quarters of a Century of Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The collisionless shock research started in the late 1950s. Since then, plenty of data have been accumulated due to the large number of missions in the heliosphere, providing in situ measurements of the fields and particles. The quality of these measurements has vastly improved, especially in the last two decades.

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

Axial Flux Evolution of Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes from 0.06 to 10 au

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) fill much of the solar wind, but their origin and evolution are debated. We apply our recently developed, improved Grad–Shafranov algorithm for the detection and reconstruction of SMFRs to data from Parker Solar ...

Controls on Solar Wind Entry Identified Through Wind–ACE Heavy‐Ion Diagnostics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Solar wind (SW) entry into the magnetosphere occurs through several mechanisms, but their dependence on the properties of different ion species is unknown. We compare measurements from Wind‐STICS (magnetosphere) with ACE‐SWICS (L1) to test for any preferential entry between He2+ and SW heavy ions.

Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved. This study focuses on magnetic pressure evolution within this critical region during substorms.
