Producing Knowledge about Astronaut Health Risks: Navigating Interdisciplinary Actor-Networks
When astronauts return from a space mission they smile for the cameras, but behind the scenes they undergo grueling rehab to recover from the effects of space and may face long-term health consequences. Space flights lasting more than thirty days are considered long-duration and may impact …

Model of medical supply demand and astronaut health for long-duration human space flight
… a model of long-duration human space flight astronaut health and a medical supply demand model in support of such missions. This model will be integrated into an existing comprehensive interplanetary supply chain management and logistics architecture simulation and optimization tool, …

Adaptive Control Strategies for Mitigating Spaceflight Fluid Shifts Using Lower Body Negative Pressure and Non-Invasive Fluid Shift Sensing
… and renal-hormonal adaptations that can effect astronaut health and performance in space. The current monitoring strategies for fluid shift lack the ability to track regional fluid shift in real-time, which limits countermeasure efficacy. This thesis aims to highlight the investigation and …
