Ultrasound Biomicroscopy as a Novel, Potential Modality to Evaluate Anterior Segment Ophthalmic Structures during Spaceflight: An Analysis of Current Technology [PDF]
Ocular health is currently a major concern for astronauts on current and future long-duration spaceflight missions. Spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) is a collection of ophthalmic and neurologic findings that is one potential ...

Human Spaceflight: Technological Advances, Health Implications, and the Path to Interplanetary Travel [PDF]
Human spaceflight has advanced from brief orbital missions to sustained international cooperation on the International Space Station (ISS). As humanity looks toward more ambitious goals, such as lunar bases and Mars exploration, understanding the challenges and opportunities of human space travel is critical.

The Role of Automatic Control in Future Interplanetary Spaceflight
The paper reviews the guidance and automatic control techniques used in previous U.S. and Soviet lunar and planetary exploration spacecraft, and examines the objectives and requirements of potential future interplanetary missions from the viewpoint of their further demands on automatic control technology.

Abstract Interplanetary transport of microbes between Earth and Mars can be envisioned to occur either naturally as a consequence of impacts (lithopanspermia) or as a result of human and robotic spaceflight. In either case, the considerations for modeling successful transfer of microbial life are similar.

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 ...
