As space exploration progresses, the need for nutrient rich and functional foods astronauts becomes increasingly crucial. Nigerian superfoods have gained recognition their remarkable health nutritional benefits. Astronauts face physiological physical problems as a result of long exposure to radiation in environment that includes, oxidative damage, coronary heart disease, gastrointestinal proble...

As part of a series studies regarding the microbiota in manned space environments, we isolated fungal strains from nasal and pharyngeal smears saliva 21 astronauts preflight, in-flight, postflight. On ground, 120 43 genera environmental fungi were astronauts. The dominant Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus. Only 18 four inside International Space Station. These are currently thought to be h...

Current scientific developments have reached the stage where human aspirations of space exploration are not science fiction but a reality involving travelling to Earth’s orbit, Moon and Mars. In second half twentieth century, international agencies (like NASA, European Space Agency, Russia) witnessed professional experiments official commercial projects, gradually unveiling universe’s secrets. ...

Abstract With the development of human space technology, more and astronauts fly into space. rapid commercial aerospace, ordinary people will go to for sightseeing. However, it should not be ignored that microgravity, radiation, relative geometry, orbit stations have various effects on health astronauts. In recent years, scholars in countries made considerable research progress this field. This...

BACKGROUND Astronauts experience psychological and physical stresses that may result in reactivation of latent viruses during space-flight, potentially increasing the risk of disease among crewmembers. HYPOTHESIS The shedding of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the saliva of astronauts will increase during spaceflight. METHODS A total of 534 saliva specimens were collected from 11 EBV-seropositi...

We have conducted an initial set of tests to examine how astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) can remotely operate a planetary rover. These tests, called “Surface Telerobotics”, were designed to simulate a possible future lunar exploration mission, in which astronauts inside the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) use a surface robot to remotely explore the lunar far side fro...

Concern about the risk of bone loss in astronauts as a result of prolonged exposure to microgravity prompted the National Aeronauticsand Space Administration to convene a Bone Summit with a panel of experts at the Johnson Space Center to review themedical data andresearch evidence from astronauts who have had prolonged exposure to spaceflight. Data were reviewed from 35 astronauts who h...

Introduction: Astronauts have not explored the lunar surface since December 1972. NASA's new plans for the manned return to the Moon revolve around the construction and establishment of a lunar polar outpost starting around the year 2020. Therefore, in order to achieve NASA's new exploration objectives it seems prudent to dust off certain aspects of the Apollo playbook. The six Apollo lunar lan...
