Limitations in Predicting the Space Radiation Health Risk for Exploration Astronauts [PDF]
Despite years of research, understanding of the space radiation environment and the risk it poses to long-duration astronauts remains limited. There is a disparity between research results and observed empirical effects seen in human astronaut crews, likely due to the numerous factors that limit terrestrial simulation of the complex space environment ...

Limitations in Predicting Radiation-Induced Pharmaceutical Instability during Long-Duration Spaceflight [PDF]
As human spaceflight seeks to expand beyond low-Earth orbit, NASA and its international partners face numerous challenges related to ensuring the safety of their astronauts, including the need to provide a safe and effective pharmacy for long-duration spaceflight.

Medical Implications of Space Radiation Exposure Due to Low Altitude Polar Orbits [PDF]
Space radiation research has progressed rapidly in recent years, but there remain large uncertainties in predicting and extrapolating biological responses to humans. Exposure to cosmic radiation and Solar Particle Events may pose a critical health risk to future spaceflight crews and can have a serious impact to all biomedical aspects of space ...

The efficiency of six countermeasures (CM) for muscle atrophy was compared over 520 days of confinement during the terrestrial simulation of round space flight to Mars using surface electromyography (sEMG). Three of CM were cyclic exercises (a motor-driven and leg-driven treadmill, cycle ergometer), resistive exercises (the multifunctional dynamometer ...

A Comment on "The Far Future of Exoplanet Direct Characterization" - the Case for Interstellar Space Probes [PDF]
Following on from ideas presented in a recent paper by Schneider et al. (2010) on "The Far Future of Exoplanet Direct Characterization", I argue that they have exaggerated the technical obstacles to performing such 'direct characterization' by means of fast (order 0.1c) interstellar space probes.
