ScienceDaily (Oct. 15, 2012) — New research findings recently published in The FASEB Journal, show
that immune system development is affected by gravity changes, as
reported by researchers from the University of Lorraine and University
of Luxembourg. Astronauts are exposed to stresses, during launch and
landing, which disrupts their body's natural defenses against infection.
Changes to the immune system need to be investigated before astronauts
undergo longer space missions.

from the sun along curved magnetic field lines (blue lines) and arrives
before the coronal mass ejection (orange mass from the sun) and its
driven shock. PREDICCS provides a real-time window on space weather
events like this, which allows situational awareness of the hazards
posed by the space radiation environment. (Credit: Image courtesy of

Scientists Provide Window On Space Radiation Hazards
ScienceDaily (Oct. 15, 2012)
— Astrophysicists from the University of New Hampshire's Space Science
Center (SSC) have created the first online system for predicting and
forecasting the radiation environment in near-Earth, lunar, and Martian
space environments. The near real-time tool will provide critical
information as preparations are made for potential future manned
missions to the moon and Mars.
