The effectiveness of RNAi in Caenorhabditis elegans is maintained during spaceflight.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundOvercoming spaceflight-induced (patho)physiologic adaptations is a major challenge preventing long-term deep space exploration. RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a promising therapeutic for combating diseases on Earth; however the efficacy

Configurational and system requirements for control of large space systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Control of large space systems, modeling, and control difficulties are discussed. Ground based analysis of spaceflight data are presented to determine structural dynamics characteristics for the purpose of revising control laws, and to trim the surface ...

Vitamin K status in spaceflight and ground-based models of spaceflight [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2010
Abstract Bone loss is a well-documented change during and after long-duration spaceflight. Many types of countermeasures to bone loss have been proposed, including vitamin K supplementation. The objective of this series of studies was to measure change in vitamin K status in response to microgravity under a variety of spaceflight and ...

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Research on Difference of Residual Stress in Friction Stir Welding Between Multi⁃segment and Long‑Segment Cylindrial Shell

open access: yesNanjing Hangkong Hangtian Daxue Xuebao
The model of 2219 aluminum alloy storage tank under two manufacturing modes of rocket storage tank, multi-segment and long segment, is established by finite element simulation. The accuracy of the model is verified by the test plate friction stir welding

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

Reactivation of Microbial Strains and Synthetic Communities After a Spaceflight to the International Space Station: Corroborating the Feasibility of Essential Conversions in the MELiSSA Loop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
To sustain human deep space exploration or extra-terrestrial settlements where no resupply from the Earth or other planets is possible, technologies for in situ food production, water, air, and waste recovery need to be developed.
