Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What will it take to send astronauts to Marsand bring them home safely?If humanity's future lies among the stars, a voyage to Mars is our next giant step. For the astronauts brave enough to venture so far from home and into such an extreme environment, the journey will be the ultimate test of enduranceof their bodies and minds, and the materials and technologies developed to protect them. Many of the risks they'll face, both physical and psychological, remain unknown or understudied; mitigating the dangers is a challenge that's equally as demanding, and fascinating, as designing the rockets and landers that will ferry them.A Martian journey will take the better part of a year. As days tick on into months, the crew will be increasingly on their own. The ever-widening distance will delay communications with Earth, slowing emergency troubleshooting, including medical advice. We understand how astronauts' bones, muscles, eyes, and immune systems respond to several months in low Earth orbit, but no one knows what kind of toll the much longer and distant journey to Mars will take. On arrival, Mars will test the team with toxic soil, dangerous radiation levels, and low gravity, among many other factors. As the astronauts face the dangers of this new world, they'll also confront the stresses of prolonged isolation, unsettled circadian rhythms, and the constant strain of life in a closed, high-risk environment with little privacyone with no option for resupply or rescue.Biomedical engineer and human spaceflight expert Mark Shelhamer guides readers throughand beyondthe available data to the research and planning that's underway for deep space voyagesshowing how medicine, engineering, mission operations, and artificial intelligence must be integrated to make these explorations successful. He argues that the traditional, siloed approaches to human health that got us to the Moon, and have kept us aboard the International Space Station, won't be enough for the Red Planet. What Mars will demand instead is intense resilienceof the crews' stamina and risk management skills, and of the spaceship's sustainable bioregenerative ecosystemcrafted to support the mission's goals, provide comfort, and cope with crises. Are We Ready for Mars? offers a rare look at what it will truly take to reach this storied planetand how those efforts might then transform the ways we approach human health on Earth.

Hardback. Condición: New. This edited volume makes the case that a systems approach is needed for long-term spaceflight missions. Due to distance from Earth and the impossibility of resupply or rapid return, these flights will entail unprecedented autonomy on the part of the crew. This autonomy includes the need for local clinical decision support and other assistance with urgent medical concerns. The advantage of a systems approach to medical needs in human spaceflight is that it enables a systematic and repeatable methodology for identifying and developing the individual pieces of the spacecraft systems based on the human system needs that are unique to that problem and environment.The book begins by introducing a systems basis for thinking about humans in space. It describes existing models and paradigms of systems medicine, as well as the tools and analytical approaches involved. A tantalizing peek at preliminary applications of systems medicine in NASA is provided. As systems in human spaceflight continue to evolve for the foreseeable future, it is argued that a systems approach will help to ensure that the evolution of the relevant sub-systems is centered on optimal human-system function across the unique spaceflight needs of the developing customer base. The discussions on balancing the needs of the mission versus the maintenance of crew health, medical risk and liability for commercial spaceflights, and the need to anticipate what the next medical issues might be, will hopefully leave readers cautiously optimistic about this new frontier of applied science.…
