• Disruption of senses.
• Additional physiological effects.

What are the challenges physical and emotional to be a space explorer astronaut?

Among the myriad challenges that will be faced by astronauts during long-duration space expeditions and extended stays on extraterrestrial “way stations” are three unique stressors: (1) prolonged exposure to solar and galactic radiation; (2) prolonged periods of exposure to microgravity; and (3) confinement in close.

What happens to the body in space?

Blood and other bodily fluids are pulled by gravity into the lower body. When you go to space, gravity weakens and thus fluids are no longer pulled down, resulting in a state where fluids accumulate in the upper body. This is why the face swells in space.

What mental problems do astronauts face in space?

Post-mission personality changes and emotional problems have affected some returning space travelers. These have included anxiety, depression, excessive alcohol use, and marital readjustment difficulties that in some cases have necessitated the use of psychotherapy and psychoactive medications.

What are the dangers of going to space?

Outside the safe cocoon of Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, subatomic particles zip around at close to the speed of light. This is space radiation, and it’s deadly. Aside from cancer, it can also cause cataracts and possibly Alzheimer’s.

How big is the problem of space debris?

This is the problem of space debris, and it’s very real. The US Space Surveillance Network has eyes on 17,000 objects—each at least the size of a softball—hurtling around Earth at speeds of more than 17,500 mph; if you count pieces under 10 centimeters, it’s closer to 500,000 objects.

What are the topics of Deep Space Exploration?

Topics discussed include “time-distance solutions, life sciences in space exploration, destinations and habitats, becoming an interstellar civilization, space technologies enhancing life on earth, and commercial opportunities from interstellar efforts”. Research in deep space is ongoing and rapidly developing.

How is the exploration of space carried out?

Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft .
