Abstract

Space Medicine has revolutionized the way of understanding human physiology in extraterrestrial environments, such as microgravity. Research in this field attempts to maintain synchrony between scientific and medical development, with the goal of improving the overall health and performance of astronauts. Engineering also plays a crucial role in the design of spacecraft and spacesuits to ensure the safety and health of astronauts on extended missions to the Moon and Mars. Radiation exposure in space poses health concerns, but strategies such as radiation control and shielding are being implemented to mitigate these risks. NASA is actively investigating how the human body reacts to long-duration spaceflight, with the goal of preparing for future extended space missions.
