Although innovation across the aerospace sector makes these ambitions technologically achievable, the biomedical challenges for crews in these extraplanetary habitats still need to be addressed, as humans did not evolve to survive in such extreme environments. The clinical consequences of this evolutionary ...
"The Flies" are the first astronaut class to graduate since NASA began assigning new crews to launch to the moon as part of the Artemis program. In April 2023, NASA named the four astronauts who will fly on Artemis 2, now targeted for late 2025, which will be the first crewed flight ...
Is the station what you expected it would be by now? I expectedthat by 2006 it would be farther along, I thought it would be fully crewed bynow with crews of six, and that all the labs would be up there, and of courseso did NASA. And, of course, the Columbia accident kicked the...
safety, and optimal performance of space flight crews. In addition, as mission duration lengths increase with a greater focus on deep space exploration, these hazards become even more important to address in order to enable the future of space travel. ...
(ISS) is being developed not only by the USA, but also by Russia, Canada, Japan, and Europe. Because of the various languages spoken, this multi-national effort complicates the process of forming crews for the ISS. So, I believe a fluency in a foreign language like Russian, French, ...
we're seeing decrements, problems with having too much iron that are just as bad as problems of having too little iron. Sodium, on the other hand, is one of those things that we worry about crews using too much sodium for the same reason as on Earth. Because too much sodium is bad...
Ballistic descents have occurred three times during the space station program, subjecting crews to higher G-loads than normal. But the spacecraft is designed for such descents and the crews were not injured. Thursday's launching appeared normal in its early stages as the rocket climbed away,...
At Home in Space (Johnson, University of British Columbia) –Canada's first psychosocial experiment on board the ISS: It examines how multinational crews of astronauts adapt to living together in space during long-duration missions. Bio-Analyzer (Ian D'Souza, Honeywell/Com Dev) –New Canadian ...
