Overview on Space Medicine and Human Spaceflight

Abstract

A thorough grasp of the physiological and psychological difficulties present in alien habitats is essential to humanity's continued quest for space travel. An integral component of human space exploration is space medicine.  It promotes performance, function, and survival in this harsh and sometimes fatal environment.  It operates at the intersection of exploration, science, technology, and medicine and is global, multicultural, and interdisciplinary. Numerous challenges associated with space travel jeopardize astronauts' survival in the intensely radiative environment by negatively impacting physiological processes like cardiovascular adaptation, infection, bone loss, kidney stones, muscle deterioration, and genetic disorders.
