Red risks for a journey to the red planet: The highest priority human health risks for a mission to Mars

Zarana S. Patel, Tyson Brunstetter, William J. Tarver et al. · 5 Nov 2020

NASA's plans for space exploration include a return to the Moon to stay-boots back on the lunar surface with an orbital outpost. This station will be a launch point for voyages to destinations further away in our solar system, including journeys to the red planet Mars. To ensure success of these missions, health and performance…

Supplying a pharmacy for NASA exploration spaceflight: challenges and current understanding

Rebecca S. Blue, Tina Bayuse, Vernie Daniels et al. · 13 Jun 2019

In order to maintain crew health and performance during long-duration spaceflight outside of low-Earth orbit, NASA and its international partners must be capable of providing a safe and effective pharmacy. Given few directed studies of pharmaceuticals in the space environment, it is difficult to characterize pharmaceutical effectiveness or stability during spaceflight; this in turn makes…

Spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) and the neuro-ophthalmologic effects of microgravity: a review and an update

Andrew G. Lee, Thomas H. Mader, C. Robert Gibson et al. · 7 Feb 2020

Prolonged microgravity exposure during long-duration spaceflight (LDSF) produces unusual physiologic and pathologic neuro-ophthalmic findings in astronauts. These microgravity associated findings collectively define the "Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome" (SANS). We compare and contrast prior published work on SANS by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Space Medicine Operations Division with retrospective and prospective studies from…

Limitations in predicting radiation-induced pharmaceutical instability during long-duration spaceflight

Rebecca S. Blue, Jeffery C. Chancellor, Erik Antonsen et al. · 6 Jun 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. Historical missions have relied upon frequent resupply of onboard pharmaceuticals; as a result, there has been little…

Alterations in adaptive immunity persist during long-duration spaceflight

Brian Crucian, Raymond P. Stowe, Satish Mehta et al. · 2 Sep 2015

BACKGROUND: It is currently unknown whether immune system alterations persist during long-duration spaceflight. In this study various adaptive immune parameters were assessed in astronauts at three intervals during 6-month spaceflight on board the International Space Station (ISS). AIMS: To assess phenotypic and functional immune system alterations in astronauts participating in 6-month orbital spaceflight. METHODS: Blood…

npj Microgravity template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the npj Microgravity format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the npj Microgravity template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
