“No medicine so abbreviation in the space of one year. La Mayoría ni siquiera dura tanto ” afirma el profesor Volker Hessel, researcher de la Universidad de Adelaida, in Australia. His laboratory study will affect the micrograved and radiating space and the stability of the drugs to propose a solution.
The astronauts of the Espacial Internacional International have ten medicines that are being renewed following new missions. In March this series is much more complicated and plant abstinence is a serious problem for future trips to the Red Planet.

We are between five and six months in realizing the distance depending on the distance that is between Marte and Tierra at the moment. It is a matter of time before the mission and the course of the voyage change, as our voyage will take three years to complete the estimates.
Although we are able to build a propulsion engine that significantly increases the duration of the trip, We will continue to provide stable medicines that guarantee the health of the tripulation during long periods of time. “Some of the more powerful pillars tend to support Tierra de Marte and vice versa to help sanitize astronauts, because we need to know how to affect one of the most well-known entities: space,” Hessel said.
With this objective, Professor Hessel and his team he ordered 60 tablets of ibuprofeno and vitamin C at the International International Station. The lozenges are modified to increase the radiation and are packaged in blisters, the same format as the boxes that are compressed in the pharmacy. The medicines are kept on the 19th day outside the hub so that there is more exposure to the radiation and the force can increase its incidence.
In addition to ibuprofeno and vitamin C, he also sent excipients — substances that are clear with the drugs of the day consistency, shape or saber — that are found in abundance in the lunar surface such as silica, talc and phosphate.
“Only used ingredients are materials that are available in the Luna, and with these we give the first steps will lead to the autonomous manufacture of pharmaceutical products on board “, afirma el profesor Hessel.
A pharmacy in space
Medical complications are not uncommon in a long way as we have to pee on the first floor alone. If astronauts are able to stay in good shape, the exposure to the radiation and the lack of pregnancy can cause many complications.
Tras pasar 340 días en la Estación Espacial Internacional, astronaut Scott Kelly lost his muscular and cardiac mass, surreptitious alterations in his DNA, decalcification of his esophagus and his immunological system were also affected.
Although it did not fail to happen all the time in the space like Kelly for those things to happen. Wally Shirra, commander of Apollo 7, must show signs of a catarrh of a horrible time of despair. For some time now, I’ve been using the 24 boutique disposable tablets and all the paints — which I get used to all the nausea and vomiting. His temper tends to be irritating as he commits himself to his missionary wife in Tierra.
The good conviction of astronauts during a long journey is fundamental to the success of the mission. The preparation and mental health of the tripulation is something that is very much in demand in this type of special expeditions.
Although the University of Adelaide’s project, NASA is thinking about producing pharmaceuticals in space. In the future I would like to have some type of technology that allows people to produce medicines through medicine part of active principles that are related to the navel. The recipes of these pharmacies also may be updated remotely in case the hiccups fail.
“We believe that some have invented a new antibiotic after they left the Tierra. We can not load [las píldoras], pero sí el sagteware. “If they have the capacity to manufacture their medicines on the market, they can simply include the structure of the new pharmacy, and manufacture it differently”, confirms Jim Logan, Director of the Medical Informatics Office and Medical Systems of the Johnson Espacial Center.
