Observing Storms from SkylabSkylab 3 astronauts witnessed many spectacular sights during their 858 orbital trips around the Earth in the summer of 1973. One involved watching powerful Hurricane Ellen take shape off the West African coast. “There’s a nice storm down there. She looks pretty big. She’s got a lot of clouds,” said astronaut Alan L. Bean upon […]
Bringing the Heat: Abigail Howard Leads Thermal Systems for Artemis Rovers, ToolsDepending on where you stand at the lunar South Pole, you may experience temperatures of 130°F (54°C) during sunlit periods, or as low as -334°F (-203°C) in a permanently shadowed region. Keeping crews comfortable and tools and vehicles operational in such extreme temperatures is a key challenge for engineers at Johnson Space Center working on […]
SpaceX rescue mission for stranded ISS astronauts nears end — Here’s when they’ll return homeSpaceX is ready to bring home Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the two astronauts that have been stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months. Last week, SpaceX launched its Crew-10 mission, which would dock onto the ISS late Saturday night and be the two astronauts’ ride home. Now, the end is in […] The post SpaceX rescue mission for stranded ISS astronauts nears end — Here’s when they’ll return home appeared first on TESLARATI.

Risk of In-Mission Injury and Performance Decrements and Long-term Health Effects due to Dynamic Loads (Dynamic Loads Risk)Standards and vehicle design requirements are based on automotive and military environments and operational protocols; they are also partially tailored to the spaceflight environment. However, these do not adequately mitigate the risk of injury due to the unique spaceflight environment. Current analytical tools are used outside of their validation conditions and have been shown to […]
Risk of In Mission Impacts, Adverse Health Events or Long-Term Health Impacts due to Altered Immune Response (Immune Risk)Exposure to the spaceflight environment has been shown to alter human immune function, but it is unclear at present if such alterations lead to increased susceptibility to disease. The reactivation of latent viruses has been documented in crewmembers and appears to be correlated with immune changes. These immune changes persist for the duration of a […]
Risk of Hearing Loss and Performance Decrements Due to Acoustics Issues in SpaceNoise exposure in spaceflight can negatively impact hearing, but it can also cause other physiological effects (e.g., irritation, headaches, and degradation in sleep and relaxation). Noise can also affect performance of specific activities (e.g., working and speech communications) and impact crew performance. Even noise that the crew does not perceive as harmful may cause temporary […]
