How astronauts deal with medical emergencies in space β€” and how scientists are working to prevent them
Serious health issues could potentially become show stoppers for longer missions to the moon and Mars, so scientists are working hard to understand more about the health issues long distance astronauts may face, and how to deal with them if they come up.

Chickpeas could become the first food grown on the Moon

Scientists have grown chickpeas in simulated moon soil, offering a promising step toward farming on the lunar surface. Researchers mixed moon-like regolith with worm-produced compost and helpful fungi that protect plants from toxic metals. The combination allowed chickpeas to grow and produce a harvest in soil that normally cannot support plant life. Scientists now need to confirm the crops are safe and nutritious for astronauts.

How do we protect #astronauts on their way to the Moon or Mars? πŸš€ One of the biggest unseen threats in space are Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs).

To tackle this challenge, our Space Radiation Physics group at GSI/FAIR has teamed up with the #EuropeanSpaceAgency to build Europe’s first GCR simulator β€” right here in #Darmstadt. 🌌
