About this Research Topic
This collection of papers adopts a forward-looking approach, emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of space radiobiology projects in anticipation of the impending era of crewed space exploration. As humanity prepares for missions beyond Low Earth Orbit, these papers aim to provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with space travel, with a specific focus on the health and well-being of astronauts during and post-mission.
The collection accepts original research papers and review papers related to the following topics (but not limited to):
- The examination of all health risks posed by galactic cosmic rays is particularly welcome, offering critical perspectives on the public health implications of prolonged space missions.
- Understanding the multifaceted aspects of space radiobiology, addressing not only the immediate concerns for astronauts in space but also the broader societal implications upon their return to Earth.
- Specific research outcomes and the pivotal role of astroparticle experiments and other space missions in enhancing our understanding of the biological risks associated with prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation in space.
- Collaborative initiatives on a global scale showcasing the interconnected network of scientific inquiry characterizing the planning and organization of BLEO crewed space missions.
- The public health implications of past, present, and future crewed space exploration missions, correlating these missions with their potential to enhance and improve the field of space medicine knowledge.
- Innovative approaches for future missions that can provide valuable insights into optimizing astronaut health and well-being in the challenging space environment.
- The historical context and ongoing advancements contributing to the evolving landscape of interdisciplinary research in space radiobiology and health considerations for crewed space missions.
This collection serves as a platform for researchers and scholars to contribute to the dynamic landscape of interdisciplinary research, guiding the scientific exploration into the new frontiers of crewed space missions. Researchers are invited to submit their manuscripts to contribute to this evolving and crucial area of study.
