Humans in Space
From the physiological toll of long-duration missions to the voices guiding astronauts safely home, this is where SpaceInfo Club tracks what it actually takes for people to live and work beyond Earth. Coverage spans crewed missions like Artemis, the science of space radiation, and the training, medicine and mission-control expertise that keep astronauts alive.
Reporting draws on conversations with the scientists and mission specialists behind that expertise, including astrophysicist Dr Francesca Faedi (University of Leicester, Orbital Innovation Ltd.), who studies the effects of space radiation on the human body. See the full list of astronomers and mission scientists we’ve spoken with.

Russia’s Baikonur Disaster: How a Single Structural Failure Temporarily Ended the Country’s Crewed-Launch Capability
The recent structural failure at Baikonur Cosmodrome has done more than damage a launch pad — it has temporarily halted Russia’s ability to send humans into space for the first time in over 60 years.
Solar Weather and Single-Event Effects: Why Spacecraft Are on the Front Line of a Growing Cosmic Hazard
Solar activity is rising—and with it, the risk of radiation-driven disruptions to spacecraft electronics. From bit flips to latchups, single-event effects (SEE) are becoming a defining engineering challenge for modern satellite and deep-space missions. As transistor sizes shrink and mission durations grow, resilience to solar weather is no longer optional. This article explores how SEEs occur, their impact on spacecraft, and the technologies designed to keep missions safe.

Space travel explained
Space travel involves the exploration of outer space beyond Earth’s atmosphere using various spacecraft and technologies. Here’s an overview of how space travel works. Launch Spacecraft are launched into space using rockets. Rockets carry the spacecraft beyond Earth’s atmosphere, allowing them to reach space. Launches require careful planning and coordination to ensure safety and success.
