Abstract

Microgravity and space radiation are hazards of spaceflight that have deleterious effects on articular cartilage. Since it is not widely monitored or protected through dedicated countermeasures, articular cartilage loss is an unmitigated risk of human spaceflight. Spaceflight-induced cartilage loss will affect an astronaut's performance during a mission and long-term health after a mission. Addressing concerns for cartilage health will be critical to the continued safe and successful exploration of space.

关节软骨损伤是人类航天飞行的一个不可忽视的风险。

微重力和空间辐射是对关节软骨产生有害影响的航天危害。由于没有对关节软骨进行广泛监测，也没有采取专门的应对措施对其进行保护，因此关节软骨损伤是人类航天飞行的一个不可忽视的风险。太空飞行引起的软骨损伤将影响宇航员在任务期间的表现和任务后的长期健康。解决软骨健康问题对于继续安全和成功地探索太空至关重要。
