Chapter 1Radiation: A Primer

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 1 –14

[One of the most challenging parts for the human journey to Mars is the risk of radiation exposure and the inflight and long-term health consequences of the exposure. This ionizing radiation travels through living tissues, depositing energy that causes structural damage to DNA and alters many...

Chapter 2Biomedical Consequences of Exposure to Space Radiation

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 15 –27

[Please note that figures were not sequentially cited in the text, and have been renumbered both in the text as follows]

Chapter 3Setting Acceptable Risk Levels for Astronauts

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 29 –35

[The permissible exposure levels (PELs) for radiation exposure that NASA sets for its astronauts are meant to prevent inflight risks and to limit risk to a level that is acceptable from an ethical, moral, and financial standpoint. In the 1960s and 1970s, PELs were set based on recommendations...

Chapter 4Space Radiation Analysis Group

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 37 –47

[The Space Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG), based at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, is responsible for ensuring that astronauts are not exposed to radiation levels above NASA’s established limits. To perform this function, the group of health physicists, programmers and contractors...

Chapter 5Radiation Dosimetry and Detection

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 49 –61

[Radiation monitoring on board the International Space Station (ISS) is conducted to gather, analyze and characterize the radiation environment to better ensure crew health [1–3]. And thanks to careful consideration of radiation effects, the station does a very good job of protecting the crew....

Chapter 6Shielding

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 63 –75

[“The space radiation environment will be a critical consideration for everything in the astronauts’ daily lives, both on the journeys between Earth and Mars and on the surface. You’re constantly being bombarded by some amount of radiation.”– Ruthan Lewis, architect and engineer at NASA’s Goddard...

Chapter 7Acute Radiation Sickness

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 77 –86

[The risk of a crew suffering from acute radiation syndrome (ARS) has been identified as a significant threat during future exploration class missions [1, 2] (Fig. 7.1). The syndrome includes symptoms that occur within hours to days following exposure to radiation (Table 7.1).]

Chapter 8Treating Acute Radiation Syndrome

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 87 –94

[A crew exposed to a high dose of ionizing radiation will fall into three categories: (1) those who recover with minor medical intervention, (2) those who require high-level medical care (such as bone marrow stem cell transplantation), and (3) those triaged for palliative care [1, 2]. In reality,...

Chapter 9Pharmacological Countermeasures

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 95 –103

[Space agencies conduct radiation research because astronauts are exposed to chronic doses of radiation. But during long duration missions beyond LEO there is a real danger that crews may be exposed to acute doses that may lead to acute radiation syndrome (ARS). To be prepared for such missions,...

Chapter 10Genetic Profiling and Manipulation

Seedhouse, Erik

Pages: 105 –113

[“NASA plans to genetically modify astronauts so they can survive the journey to Mars.”– Dr. Douglas Terrier, Acting Chief Technologist at NASA]
