This value is scenario-dependent and is presented as an illustrative threshold under controlled assumptions rather than a robust or universal quantitative value. The primary contribution of this study is to demonstrate the existence of a minimum viable ADR regime, which can provide conceptual guidance for debris mitigation policy.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frspt.2025.1692554 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frspt.2025.1692554 <![CDATA[The database of peptide medications for human deep-space missions demonstrates the potential for on-demand “Astropharmacy”]]> 2026-02-24T00:00:00Z Original Research Rebecca C.
