Scientists are concerned about the effects of space travel on astronauts. Here are links to some of their reports.
Scientists from the University of New Hampshire and colleagues have
published comprehensive findings on space-based radiation as measured by
a UNH-led detector aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
The data provide critical information on the radiation hazards that will
be faced by astronauts on extended missions to deep space such as those
to Mars.
In the first study of its kind, a team of researchers led by faculty at
the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and
the Baylor College of Medicine, has analyzed data on the impact of
prolonged operational confinement on sleep, performance, and mood in
astronauts from a groundbreaking international effort to simulate a
520-day space mission to Mars.
