Abstract

The potential to regularly extend human space flight beyond low-earth orbit is current. In the coming years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the United States and similar [...], This article explores the potential benefits and defined risks associated with prophylactic surgical procedures for astronauts before extended-duration space flight. This includes, but is not limited to, appendectomy and cholecystesctomy. Furthermore, discussion of treatment during space flight, potential impact of an acute illness on a defined mission and the ethical issues surrounding this concept are debated in detail. Cet article explore les avantages possibles et les risques definis associes a des interventions chirurgicales prophylactiques (notamment appendicectomie et cholecystectomie) chez les astronautes devant effectuer des sejours prolonges dans l'espace. Le traitement pendant le sejour dans l'espace, les repercussions eventuelles d'une maladie grave au cours d'une mission particuliere et les enjeux ethiques entourant la question y sont debattus en profondeur.

Abstract

This paper examines the incidence and the severity of space motion sickness (SMS) during 24 flights of the Space Shuttle, using a standardized questionnaire administered to all crewmembers postflight. It was found that, for 85 crewmembers, the incidence of SMS during a first Shuttle flight was 67 percent, of which 30 percent were mild cases, 24 percent moderate, and 13 percent severe. Crewmembers with a second flight showed a reduction in SMS incidence, but the change was not significant compared with the first flight. It is suggested that variability in crewmember training and flight experience may explain some of the differences observed.

Abstract

DTRT57-05-D-30103, Task #6, Subcontract 10153943, Recommendations are made for specific biomedical data, equipment, and a database that will increase the knowledge and understanding of how short duration, suborbital space flight missions with brief exposure to microgravity affects the human body. The focus of these recommendations is commercial space flight participants engaged in suborbital flight. These recommendations do not address commercial or government professional, astronauts, nor do they address orbital space flight missions. The intended purpose of these recommendations is to provide FAA/AST, through the Volpe Center, guidance as to how the emerging commercial human space flight industry may define risks required for disclosure to suborbital space flight participants and proactively develop corrective actions to reduce such risks. Recommendations are made for the monitoring of vehicle and, biomedical data before, during, and after flight, and within the context of preflight centrifugation. The primary biomedical systems of concern include cardiovascular, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, neurovestibular, and psychological. Gastrointestinal issues also need to be addressed. Recommendations for the type of biomedical equipment required to acquire the in-flight data are discussed, although specific recommendations are, complicated by the absence of specific data describing the flight vehicle and passenger configurations likely to be encountered. Finally, several biomedical databases from NASA are briefly summarized. The recommendations and requirements for the design of a suitable database to accommodate the acquired commercial space flight data are based on two NASA databases, the Longitudinal Study of Astronaut Health database, and the Private Medical Conference database.
