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

Synthesis of 3-D coronal-solar wind energetic particle acceleration modules [PDF]
, 2014 1. Introduction Acute space radiation hazards pose one of the most serious risks to future human and robotic exploration. Large solar energetic particle (SEP) events are dangerous to astronauts and equipment.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Prolonged exposure to microgravity, simulated via 6° head‐down tilt bed rest (HDT), induces musculoskeletal deconditioning and negatively impacts body composition. This study evaluated whether a combination of aerobic exercise with artificial gravity (AG) offers superior protection in comparison to exercise alone.

Interactions of energetic electrons with ULF waves triggered by interplanetary shock: Van Allen Probes observations in the magnetotail [PDF]
, 2014 We present in situ observations of a shock-induced substorm-like event on 13 April 2013 observed by the newly launched Van Allen twin probes. Substorm-like electron injections with energy of 30-500 keV were observed in the region from L∼5.2 to 5.5 ...

A Personal Voyage Among Earth and Space Physics Disciplines
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract I have organized my thoughts in an autobiographical way in relation to the several distinct phases of my career encompassing Earth and space physics. I discuss atmospheric and space physics topics of interest to me in an international context, and I emphasize the value of community activities and international conferences for the interchange ...

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Remote automated multi-generational growth and observation of an animal in low Earth orbit [PDF]
, 2012 The ultimate survival of humanity is dependent upon colonization of other planetary bodies. Key challenges to such habitation are (patho)physiologic changes induced by known, and unknown, factors associated with long-duration and distance space ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.Additive manufacturing (AM) transforms space hardware by enabling lightweight, high‐performance, and on‐demand production. This review outlines AM processes—powder bed fusion (PBF), directed energy deposition (DED), binder jetting (BJ), sheet lamination (SL), and material extrusion (ME)—applied to propulsion, satellite structures, and thermal devices ...
