... is not the answer – at least not yet. There will be no Planet B in my lifetime, nor my grandchildren’s. And yet human spaceflight is still being used to galvanise our youth into wanting to take on science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM...
..., or PTH, but it requires regular injections and has a very short shelf life, which is problematic for long spaceflights. Therefore, a transgenic lettuce that produces PTH was engineered. Designing plants able to grow in space and be of use...
...now be added, since it has been studied so little to date. In addition, hypomagnetic conditions may increase the impact of spaceflight factors and create additional risks to the health of space exploration crews in the future. Hypomagnetic fields are...
... LEO as the collisions will be the most consequential and the collision rate is significant. Assurance of immediate spaceflight safety as the primary objective has encouraged us to examine the possible short-term, highly consequential events (rather...
..., which reduced the astronaut’s role to little more than a passenger. During the flight of Faith 7, the final spaceflight in the Mercury series, there were mission-threatening technical problems. After experiencing power failure in the capsule...
