Download or read book Safe Passage written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-11-20 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe Passage: Astronaut Care for Exploration Missions sets forth a vision for space medicine as it applies to deep space voyage. As space missions increase in duration from months to years and extend well beyond Earth's orbit, so will the attendant risks of working in these extreme and isolated environmental conditions. Hazards to astronaut health range from greater radiation exposure and loss of bone and muscle density to intensified psychological stress from living with others in a confined space. Going beyond the body of biomedical research, the report examines existing space medicine clinical and behavioral research and health care data and the policies attendant to them. It describes why not enough is known today about the dangers of prolonged travel to enable humans to venture into deep space in a safe and sane manner. The report makes a number of recommendations concerning NASA's structure for clinical and behavioral research, on the need for a comprehensive astronaut health care system and on an approach to communicating health and safety risks to astronauts, their families, and the public.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Space Medicine written by Gilles Clément and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations in space have led to fundamental discoveries of the human body to the space environment. Gilles Clément has conducted extensive research in this field. This readable text presents the findings from the life science experiments conducted during and after space missions. About 1200 human space flights have been completed to date, including more than 500 astronauts from various countries, for a combined total presence in space of about 90 years. The first edition of this title was published in 2005 (written in 2003 – 2004), and new data is now available from crewmembers participating in long-duration flights on board the International Space Station (ISS). The number of astronauts who have spent six months in orbit has doubled since 2004. On board the ISS, the astronauts use newly developed pharmaceutical countermeasure for bone loss (such as biophosphonates) and state-of-the-art exercise resistive devices against muscle atrophy and cardiovascular deterioration. The ISS life support systems now use advanced closed-loop systems for meeting the needs of a 6-person crew, including recycling urine to water. Some of these new technologies have potential spin-offs for medical (i.e., sedentary life style, obesity) and environmental issues here on Earth. And finally, there are new space research opportunities with the Orion space vehicle that will soon replace the Space Shuttle, the Moon, and Mars space exploration program that is slowly but surely taking shape, and the space tourism sector that has become a reality. The focus on this edition is the ISS, Orion and planetary exploration, and space tourism. This edition also includes more than 20% new material, along with photographs, data, and video clips for Springer Extras!
Download or read book Space Research in the Life Sciences written by United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Aeronautical and Space Sciences and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement of future manned space flight no longer appears to be subject to serious question. Solution of a broad variety of problems involved in the attainment of manned space flight requires extensive scientific activity and progress--but the time is approaching when the scale of accomplishments will be in balance with the scale of requirements. Because the achievement of space flight also requires that man survive and function productively, one of the most important areas of space research resides in the life sciences, more frequently referred to by the term "space medicine."

Download or read book A Strategy for Research in Space Biology and Medicine in the New Century written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-10-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction of the international space station, scheduled to start in late 1998, ushers in a new era for laboratory sciences in space. This is especially true for space life sciences, which include not only the use of low gravity as an experimental parameter to study fundamental biological processes but also the study of the serious physiological changes that occur in astronauts as they remain in space for increasingly longer missions. This book addresses both of these aspects and provides a comprehensive review of ground-based and space research in eleven disciplines, ranging from bone physiology to plant biology. It also offers detailed, prioritized recommendations for research during the next decade, which are expected to have a considerable impact on the direction of NASA's research program. The volume is also a valuable reference tool for space and life scientists.

Book excerpt: "Technology Utilization Program designed to transfer technological developments that may have useful commereial applications. From NASA laboratories and contractors, aeronautics and space-related technology is gathered and evaluated. Items which have potential industrial use are made generally available. This survey of computer uses in the field of medicine is one of a series of NASA publications that presents information of direct or indirect interest to the non-aerospace community. ... This report summarizes the areas of medicine in which computers can be employed and examines in detail several cases where computers have been applied in connection with the medical aspects of NASA's manned space flight program. Treated are such problems as those of automated medical data storage and retrieval systems, continuous monitoring and interpretation of electrocardiograms, and computer-aided medical diagnosis. The approach is cautious throughout, with the emphasis almost constantly on ways to permit the computer to perform various clerical functions while leaving critical decisions to a human monitor."--Foreword.
