Space Pharmacology
Space pharmacology is the application of biomedical engineering that studies the use and dynamics of drugs or pharmaceuticals in space environments. Falling in the realm of space medicine, outer space drug delivery is the practical application of using Medical treatment during spaceflight, drugs to treat disorders that may arise due to space's extreme conditions, such as Micro-g environment, microgravity, radiation, and other physiological and psychological risks. The physical conditions and Astronautical hygiene, hazards posed by outer space conditions can result in Bioastronautics, space-related disorders to the human body, posing a necessity to manufacture, modify, and test drugs to work in outer space. History of space medicine and drug delivery Concerns about aviation drug delivery started as early as 1924 when orthostatic stress was found to be the reason for a pilot's inability to digest chocolate during a flight. In addition, studies on the effect of digitalis on altitud ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
STS-31 MS Sullivan, MS McCandless, DSO 462 Medical Device On OV-103 Middeck
STS-31 was the 35th mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the tenth flight of the Space Shuttle Space Shuttle Discovery, ''Discovery''. The primary purpose of this mission was the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) into low Earth orbit. ''Discovery'' lifted off from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39B, Launch Complex 39B on April 24, 1990, from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Following the Challenger accident clarification was required on mission numbering. As STS-51-L was also designated STS-33, future flights with the previous STS-26 through STS-33 designators would require the R in their documentation to avoid conflicts in tracking data from one mission to another. ''Discovery''s crew deployed the Hubble Space Telescope on April 25, 1990, and then spent the rest of the mission tending to various scientific experiments in the Shuttle's payload bay as well as operating a set of IMAX cameras to record the mission. ''Discovery''s launch marked the first tim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
