NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

Astronaut Vision Changes in Space, Pose Risks for Mars Exploration
Reports indicate that 70 percent of astronauts on extended ISS missions develop vision issues linked to spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The condition, caused by fluid shifts in microgravity, leads to optic nerve swelling, vision impairment, and structural eye changes. While symptoms often reverse upon return to Earth, the long-...

Astronauts' Vision Problems Linked to Prolonged Space Exposure, Posing Risks for Mars Missions
Extended space missions, such as those aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are linked to significant ocular changes in astronauts. These changes, collectively termed spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), affect around 70 percent of astronauts. A recent study found reductions in ocular rigidity, intraocular pressure, and ocu...
