This evidence forms the basis for identifying risks to crew health and performance during extended space missions, as well as for developing countermeasures to mitigate these risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this edition, you'll read how space agencies are currently gearing up for human missions beyond low-Earth orbit, which necessitates addressing numerous physiological, psychological, operational, and scientific challenges prior to establishing bases on the surface of Moon and Mars. The emerging commercial sub-orbital and orbital flight capabilities have captivated both the public and the scientific community. This book also identifies the anticipated hurdles, or \"showstoppers,\" for these space missions and what must be understood to grasp fully the implications and risks for space explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver 650 astronauts from various nations have collectively spent over 184 years in space. Currently, the 72nd expedition crew resides on the International Space Station, maintaining a continuous human presence since 2000. Investigations during this time have explored issues like bone and muscle health, space motion sickness, immune function changes, crew dynamics, and medical challenges such as visual impairment and radiation effects. These studies, including those led by Gilles Clément, have provided valuable insights into human adaptation to space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-03-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781071644249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-0716-4422-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 467\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381136113804,"sku":"9781071644249","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781071644249.jpg?v=1776879851","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781071644249","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
