A roadmap for incorporating space medicine into the strategic plans of the Saudi space commission
The establishment of the Saudi Space Commission in 2018 marked a breakthrough for Saudi Arabia, in which the nation expressed its capacity for space exploration. In this context, space medicine is a subspecialty of focus that aims to maintain human health and performance in the extreme environment of outer space based on scientific knowledge concerning the aerodynamic effects on the human body. The field is not widely common and is only now established in a few countries with advanced research capabilities in the field of space exploration. However, there is great potential in space medicine with a multitude of strong research opportunities. This advancing field may result in knowledge that far exceeds the currently known and well-investigated aspects of human health. Nevertheless, progress has been hindered by some challenges, including a limited number of institutions, human resources, and research funding. This article provides a roadmap for the creation, development, and improvement of space medicine in Saudi Arabia.
期刊介绍:
The Official Human Space Exploration Review Journal of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) REACH – Reviews in Human Space Exploration is an international review journal that covers the entire field of human space exploration, including: -Human Space Exploration Mission Scenarios -Robotic Space Exploration Missions (Preparing or Supporting Human Missions) -Commercial Human Spaceflight -Space Habitation and Environmental Health -Space Physiology, Psychology, Medicine and Environmental Health -Space Radiation and Radiation Biology -Exo- and Astrobiology -Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) -Spin-off Applications from Human Spaceflight -Benefits from Space-Based Research for Health on Earth -Earth Observation for Agriculture, Climate Monitoring, Disaster Mitigation -Terrestrial Applications of Space Life Sciences Developments -Extreme Environments REACH aims to meet the needs of readers from academia, industry, and government by publishing comprehensive overviews of the science of human and robotic space exploration, life sciences research in space, and beneficial terrestrial applications that are derived from spaceflight. Special emphasis will be put on summarizing the most important recent developments and challenges in each of the covered fields, and on making published articles legible for a non-specialist audience. Authors can also submit non-solicited review articles. Please note that original research articles are not published in REACH. The Journal plans to publish four issues per year containing six to eight review articles each.
