... dioxide from humans, experiences an anomaly about every 90 days. Risks associated with elevated carbon dioxide levels on a long-duration spaceflight do not need to be pointed out but the side-effects would most likely intoxicate crew members leading...
... investigation examines the role of synchronized circadian rhythms, or the ‘biological clock,’ and how it changes during long-duration spaceflight. Adopting a new paradigm along this line requires a top-down approach, that makes higher level needs...
... members. Thus, it is anticipated that dental emergencies will occur during long-duration missions to the Moon, asteroids and Mars. In stark contrast to Earth orbital spaceflight, such deep space missions will not allow easy repatriation of a sick...
... environment, it doesn’t deteriorate. Previous experiments on astronauts who have spent months in space have shown that long-duration spaceflight causes widespread physiological changes to the human body. This was most apparent when NASA conducted...
...a year in space and how it adjusts to weightlessness, isolation, radiation and the stress of long-duration spaceflight. Two ways in which test the effects of long spaceflights on the human body are field tests and fluid shifts. Fluid shifts deal with...
