Welcome to the Space Medicine module!

Welcome to this module on the medical challenges of human spaceflight. Space exploration has always been a source of fascination for humanity, and we have come a long way since the first human mission to space. However, as we venture farther into space and plan longer missions, the medical challenges for human spaceflight become more complex. The extreme environment of space affects our bodies in ways that are not fully understood, and can lead to a range of medical issues that must be addressed to ensure the health and safety of astronauts.

In this module, we will explore the medical challenges of human spaceflight, including microgravity, radiation, psychosocial issues, and the medical tools and techniques used to address them. Join us as we delve into this fascinating topic and discover what it takes to keep astronauts healthy in space.
