#SpaceStations will be occupied by civilians as #tourists and employees. A “learning period” gives the industry considerable leeway to #experiment with humans 👨🚀. We need health ⚕️ #research now to protect future civilians in #space 🌌 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/health-research-is-needed-now-before-sending-civilians-to-space/

Updates to the NASA human system risk management process for space exploration
This paper describes updates to NASA’s approach for assessing and mitigating spaceflight-induced risks to human health and performance. This approach continues to evolve to meet dynamically changing risk environments: lunar missions are currently ...
The #ISS isolated strains were mutated and became genetically and functionally distinct compared to their #Earth counterparts. The strains were able to viably persist in the ISS over time with a significant abundance. E. bugandensis coexisted with multiple other #microorganisms 🦠, and in some cases could have helped those organisms survive. https://www.nasa.gov/centers-and-facilities/ames/ames-science/ames-space-biosciences/multi-drug-resistant-bacteria-found-on-iss-mutating-to-become-functionally-distinct/
New #biological insights allowed to engineer phages with far superior activity against drug-resistant pathogens back on Earth. #SpaceStation phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or their ability to bind receptors on #bacterial 🦠 cells https://www.independent.co.uk/space/virus-bacteria-international-space-station-phages-strong-b2900199.html
