Cancer risks due to ionizing radiation exposure are one of these health-related risks. Assessing, managing, and communicating radiation-induced cancer risks associated with spaceflight are challenging because of incomplete knowledge of the radiation environment in space, limited data on radiation-induced cellular damage mechanisms, lack of direct observations from epidemiological studies, and the complexities of understanding radiation risk. At the request of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), an ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened to provide advice on NASA's proposed updates to their space radiation health standard, which sets the allowable limit of space radiation exposure throughout the course of an astronaut's career. Space Radiation and Astronaut Health: Managing and Communicating Cancer Risks provides the committee's recommendations and conclusions regarding the updated space radiation health standard, NASA's radiation risk communication strategies, and a process for developing an ethics-informed waiver protocol for long-duration spaceflight missions." --Provided by publisherSpace Radiation and Astronaut Health Extraterrestrial radiationSafety measuresAstronautsHealth and hygieneAstronautsHealth risk assessmentRayonnement extraterrestreSécuritéMesuresAstronautesSanté et hygièneAstronautesRisques pour la santéÉvaluationExtraterrestrial radiationSafety measures.AstronautsHealth and hygiene.AstronautsHealth risk assessment.Rayonnement extraterrestreSécuritéMesures.AstronautesSanté et hygiène.AstronautesRisques pour la santéÉvaluation.National Academies of Sciences Engineering, and Medicine1596851Studies Division on Earth and Life1731720Division Health and Medicine1740532Board Nuclear and Radiation Studies1731721Services Board on Health Care1741456Policy Board on Health Sciences1675807Missions Committee on Assessment of Strategies for Managing Cancer Risks Associated with Radiation Exposure During Crewed Space1741561MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910861981303321Space Radiation and Astronaut Health4167630UNINA
