Abstract

Health maintenance and disease prevention in astronauts are of high priority during space missions. To achieve this aim, basic science of molecular biology has to be joined with modern noninvasive tools allowing high-fidelity research on diagnosing and monitoring of the astronauts’ health status. Experts from biology, medicine, and engineering should merge their expertise to enable additive effects for development and improvement of stress and immune-monitoring tools under extreme environmental conditions. This will hereby ensure not only the success of space missions, especially when leaving the Earth orbit in the future, but also will provide important impetus for many other applications on Earth as well.
