Fundamentals of Space Medicine: 23 (Space Technology Library)

This readable text presents the findings from the life science experiments conducted during and after space missions. The first edition of this title was published in written in — , 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 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.

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. Read more Read less. Kindle Cloud Reader Read instantly in your browser.

A wide variety of topics are discussed, including life support systems, pathologies that may arise or be exasperated in 0G, exposure to radiation and preventative methods, artificial gravity of various strengths and the physiological impact these have, treatments of space-induced pathologies, and even the relationship between space medicine and terraforming. This is a must read for anyone with an academic interest in the effect space has on biological systems.
