Challenges Faced by Space Exploration

Space is a harsh environment, unlike Earth, with extreme temperatures and a vacuum that humans cannot survive in without proper protection. To conduct activities in space, a spaceship must overcome numerous difficulties.

One such difficulty is the microgravity environment. On Earth, gravity allows us to sense up and down, but in space, this is not possible, which affects the human body. For instance, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) conducts various experiments in the International Space Station (ISS) to study these effects.

The term "space medicine" refers to medical activities related to space. In space, the human body experiences various changes. To prepare for long-duration space flights, it is essential to understand these changes thoroughly and to develop countermeasures against them.
