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.

Physiological Adaptations to Long-Term Microgravity

Leave a Comment / Humans in Space

Space exploration has pushed the boundaries of human endurance, exposing astronauts to prolonged periods in microgravity environments. Understanding how the human body adapts to such conditions is crucial for the planning of long-duration missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. This article discusses the major physiological changes that occur in the human body after several
