The impact of space missions on humans 2

Absztrakt

Space exploration has entered a phase where we now have enough valuable details and experience to make it a realistic goal to leave the safety of Earth for extended periods. These journeys will be carried out on long-duration missions, with the Moon as the first target, and eventually, with sufficient knowledge, to Mars. NASA’s Artemis program plans to conduct a manned mission to the Moon by 2030, aiming to establish a base that will serve as a foundation for the first human mission to Mars by 2040. Successful long-term space exploration necessitates careful attention to the human factors essential for sustaining these missions. These long-duration, isolated missions are unfamiliar to humans, where, beyond the physical challenges, the mental, relational, and psychological stresses will also be extremely significant. It is important to study the effects of these factors.
