Exploring deep space has emerged as a significant frontier in human spaceflight. As our ambitions extend beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), there is a pressing need to understand and address the unique challenges of long-duration space missions. These challenges encompass various aspects of human health and well-being, including radiation exposure, microgravity-induced physiological changes, psychological stressors, and limited access to medical expertise. The area of space medical technology has thus gained prominence in ensuring the safety and resilience of astronauts during deep space exploration.

This Research Topic aims to tackle the critical challenges in space medical technology and advance our understanding of mitigating health risks during deep space missions. By bringing together leading researchers and experts in the field, we seek to identify innovative solutions and strategies to enhance medical capabilities and support crew well-being in long-duration space travel. Through this collaborative effort, we strive to pave the way for safer and more sustainable human space exploration beyond LEO.

This Research Topic encompasses a comprehensive exploration of various areas within space medical technology, including hardware, software, computational models, tools, and systems, to effectively address the unique demands of deep space missions. It aims to investigate a wide range of topics, such as:

• Advancements in telemedicine for remote medical diagnosis and treatment
• The development of in-situ diagnostic tools for comprehensive health assessment
• Innovations in life support systems to ensure crew safety and well-being
• Novel pharmaceutical approaches to mitigate health risks in deep space environments
• Advancements in biomedical engineering tailored explicitly for the challenges of long space crewed missions
• Innovative medical technology for deep space missions to facilitate prevention, diagnosis, and treatment

By fostering collaboration and facilitating knowledge exchange, this Research Topic strives to inspire ground-breaking solutions that will contribute to the future of deep space exploration.

Keywords: human spaceflight, healthcare, space medicine, space exploration, biomedical engineering, innovation


Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
