Limitations in Predicting Radiation-Induced Pharmaceutical Instability during Long-Duration Spaceflight [PDF]

, 2019
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-induced neuroplasticity in humans as measured by MRI: what do we know so far?

npj Microgravity, 2017
Space travel poses an enormous challenge on the human body; microgravity, ionizing radiation, absence of circadian rhythm, confinement and isolation are just some of the features associated with it.

During the long way to Mars: effects of 520 days of confinement (Mars500) on the assessment of affective stimuli and stage alteration in mood and plasma hormone levels.

PLoS ONE, 2014
For future interplanetary manned spaceflight, mental issues, as well as physiological problems, must inevitably be considered and solved. Mars500 is a high-fidelity ground simulation experiment that involved 520 days of confined isolation for six ...

Stress Related Shift Toward Inflammaging in Cosmonauts After Long-Duration Space Flight

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Space flight exerts a specific conglomerate of stressors on humans that can modulate the immune system. The mechanism remains to be elucidated and the consequences for cosmonauts in the long term are unclear. Most of the current research stems from short-

Towards an integrated scientific and social case for human space exploration [PDF]

, 2004
I will argue that an ambitious programme of human space exploration, involving a return to the Moon, and eventually human missions to Mars, will add greatly to human knowledge. Gathering such knowledge is the primary aim of science, but science's compart-

Computers in Our Cosmos: Intersections in Geographies of Care, Abolition Geographies and Worker Movements

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT AI assistants on spacecrafts. Netflix streamed through inter‐planetary communication networks. Colonies on Mars by 2050. While the glamorous public–private ventures into outer space curate discussions on the technical specificities of these proposed projects, this paper reorients discussions on such developments through critical frameworks of ...
