Space radiation and astronaut health : managing and communicating cancer risks

Washington : The National Academies Press | 2021

Astronauts face unique health-related risks during crewed space missions, and longer-duration missions that extend to greater distances in our solar system (including to the Moon and Mars) will likely increase those risks. Cancer risks due to io[...]
