Astronauts on future missions to Mars may stay healthier thanks to experiments on Earth with a tiny, almost tiny worm.Long-term space travel in low or zero gravity changes how the blood circulates, weakens the immune system, and causes motion sickness, muscle loss and fatigue(疲乏) . It can...
Planetary protection constraints pose significant challenges that are likely to affect the design and cost of advanced life support and operating systems for long duration human missions to Mars. Because of the extreme complexity of future human-robotic missions to the ...
Energy sustainability and redundancy for surface habitats, life support systems and scientific instrumentation represent one of the highest-priority issues for future crewed missions to Mars. However, power sources utilized for the current class of robotic missions to Mars may be potentially dangerous nea...
With the rising complexity of Mars explorations, the demand for Martian weather forecasts is growing. The research team said it would further study weather processes such as dust storms on the planet to offer possible support for future Mars missions, manned Mars landings and resource development on...

Mars is expected to become a focal point of exploration (human and robotic) in the coming century, with a very likely need for a robust space infrastructure. Be it communication and navigation satellite constellations or scientific missions in low Mars orbits (LMO) and Areosynchronous orbits (ASO...
Mars, a Duke Health study reveals. The study points out the challenges of relying on potentially ineffective or even harmful drugs due to expiration. The harsh conditions in space, like radiation, might also diminish drug effectiveness, complicating medical planning for missions like those to Mars....
could do with the money, then it is imperative that NASA develop the most efficient Mars sample return plan, to allow the sample to be obtained as quickly as possible and with the least possible expenditure of funds that could be used for other types of Mars exploration missions," Zubrin ...
However, there are many challenges to overcome before humans can set foot on Mars. These include the long journey time, radiation exposure, and the need for sustainable life support systems. 1. The Viking missions were launched in ___. A...
NASA aims to travel to the moon again—and beyond. Here’s a look at the 21st-century race to send humans into space.
