The text concisely addresses the full spectrum of biomedical consequences from exposure to space radiation and goes on to present possible ways to mitigate such dangers and protect astronauts within the limitations of existing technologies.SpringerBriefs in Space Development,2191-8171Space sciencesHuman physiologyCell biologyOccupational medicineSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Human Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Occupational Medicine/Industrial Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H42001Space sciences.Human physiology.Cell biology.Occupational medicine.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Human Physiology.Cell Biology.Occupational Medicine/Industrial Medicine.539.7223Seedhouse Erikauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut791794BOOK9910300551303321Space Radiation and Astronaut Safety2529265UNINA
