|
Risk #33: Monitor External Environment, Lack of remedial action poses of crew health risk for chemical composition of dust, particulate size |
Risk of Adverse Health Affects from Lunar Dust Exposure. It is clear that prolonged exposure to rock dust is harmful, but it is not clear if exposure to regolith dust is more or less harmful than terrestrial rock dust. Research into this area may determine if exposure limits need to be changed, and/or if additional medical treatment capability is required. (1,2) |
|
|
Risk #37: Provide Space Suit and portable life support systems “Lunar and Mars and dust contamination leading to suit failure” |
||
|
Risk #26: Mismatch Between Crew Cognitive Capabilities and Task Demands |
Risk of Impaired Ability to Maintain Control of Vehicles and Other Complex Systems: It has been shown that long duration spaceflight alters sensimotor functions which manifests as changes in locomotion, gaze control, dynamic visual acuity, and perception. (1,2) |
|
|
Risk #45: Poorly Integrated Ground, Crew, and Automation Functions |
||
|
Risk #26: Mismatch Between Crew Cognitive Capabilities and Task Demands |
Risk of Impaired Ability to Maintain Control of Vehicles and Other Complex Systems: It has been shown that long duration spaceflight alters sensimotor functions which manifests as changes in locomotion, gaze control, dynamic visual acuity, and perception. (1,2) |

Risk #26: Mismatch Between Crew Cognitive Capabilities and Task Demands |
HHC Risk of Compromised EVA [Extravehicular Activity] Performance and crew Health Due to Inadequate EVA Suit Systems: Improperly designed EVA suits can result in the inability of the crew to perform as expected, and can cause mechanical and decompression injury. Suit developers must fully understand the impact of the suit design on crew performance and health to ensure properly designed mobility, pressures, nutrition, life support, etc. (1,2) |
|
|
Risk #1: Accelerated Bone Loss and Fracture Risk |
Risk of Adverse Health Affects from Lunar Dust Exposure: It is clear that prolonged exposure to rock dust is harmful, but it is not clear if exposure to regolith dust is more or less harmful than terrestrial rock dust. Research into this area may determine if exposure limits need to be changed, and/or if additional medical treatment capability is required. |

|
Risk #2: Impaired Fracture Healing |
||
|
Risk #3: Injury to Joints and Intervertebral Structures |
||
|
Risk #6: Diminished Cardiac and Vascular Function |
||
|
Risk #11: Reduced Muscle Mass, Strength, and Endurance |
||
|
Risk #12: Increased Susceptibility to Muscle Damage |
||
|
Risk #30: Chronic and Degenerative Tissue Risks (due to Radiation Exposure) |
||
|
Risk #31: Acute Radiation Risks |
||
|
Risk #37: Provide Space Suits and Portable Life Support Systems |

1. HRP-47052, Revision A. The Human Research Program [HRP] Requirements Document, Human Research Program, which was baselined in July, 2007, established the flow down of requirements from the Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) and the Office of Chief Health Medical Officer (OCHMO) to the HRP Program Elements to ensure delivery of countermeasures and technologies that satisfy ESMD’s and OCHMO’s exploration mission requirements. 2. RMAT reviews medical risks in terms of probability, impact and proposals for mitigating the risks, and reviews each risk in terms of multiple mission architectures (short duration Earth orbital, ISS [International Space Station] 6 month, ISS 12 month, short duration Lunar sortie, long duration Lunar Mission and Mars Mission). The results are embodied in HRP-47052. 3. NP-2006-11-448-HQ. 4. NASA Space Flight Human Systems Standards, Vol. I: Crew Health (SFHSS Vol. 1). 5. NASA Space Flight Human Systems Standards, Vol. II: Habitability and Environmental Health (SFHSS Vol. 2). |
