Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
To date, many astronauts have stayed on the International Space Station for months at a time. In addition, human space missions to the moon are also planned again, and a stay on Mars may be realized in the future. In the private sector, the space travel business is also booming. It is expected that more humans will stay in space in the future, and that their stay will become longer. For this reason, the field of space medicine, which studies how the space environment affects the human body over the long term, is becoming even more important.
This Special Issue focuses on research on the effects of space environments on living organisms. Space environments involve various special environments such as microgravity and cosmic radiation, as well as a closed environment and changes in sunlight rhythm. Additionally, countermeasures and rehabilitation will need to be carried out after returning to Earth to deal with the physiological effects that occur during the space stay. Space medical research includes not only space experiments but also analog experiments that simulate the space environment. Therefore, this Special Issue covers a wide range of research examining how organisms (model organisms, mammals, humans, etc.) are affected by the environmental changes that are expected during space travel. Please feel free to submit your research.
