        SPACE MEDICINE 
       1st Module

This foundational course introduces the principles, history, and multidisciplinary scope of maintaining human health beyond Earth. Students explore how the extreme environment of space, including microgravity, radiation, and isolation, affects every major physiological system. The curriculum examines cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neurosensory adaptations, alongside the psychological and nutritional factors vital for sustaining astronaut health and performance.

Drawing on real mission data, countermeasure strategies, and ongoing research aboard the International Space Station, learners develop a comprehensive understanding of the biological and medical foundations of spaceflight. The course lays the groundwork for future exploration beyond low Earth orbit, equipping participants with the scientific insight needed to support human presence on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.


Level: intermediate
duration: 3H;20

01
Introduction to Space Medicine  

Examines how microgravity, radiation, and isolation alter human physiology, psychology, and performance. Highlights research integrating medicine, engineering, and psychology to sustain health on long-duration and interplanetary missions.

02
The Space Environment and Its Impact  on the Human Body

Examines how microgravity, radiation, and isolation alter human physiology, psychology, and performance. Highlights research integrating medicine, engineering, and psychology to sustain health on long-duration and interplanetary missions.

03
Cardiovascular and Musculoskeletal Adaptations

Analyzes how weightlessness transforms the heart, muscles, and bones. Focuses on deconditioning, bone loss, and countermeasures like exercise, nutrition, and medicine, linking orbital research to health advances on Earth.

04
Neurosensory and Vestibular System Challenges 

Investigates how spaceflight affects balance, vision, and orientation. Explores motion sickness, neuroplastic adaptation, and countermeasures against disorientation and vision changes critical for lunar and Martian missions.

05
Space Nutrition and Metabolism

Explores how space alters metabolism, appetite, and nutrient needs. Examines diet’s role in bone, muscle, and immune health, and emerging approaches like nutrigenomics and bioregenerative food systems for Mars missions.
