  • Anti-Aging Effects of Long-Term Space Missions, Estimated by Heart Rate
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Anti-aging efects of long-term space missions, estimated by heart rate variability Received: 10 January 2019 Kuniaki Otsuka1,2, Germaine Cornelissen2, Yutaka Kubo3, Koichi Shibata3, Koh Mizuno4,5, Accepted: 5 June 2019 Hiroshi Ohshima5, Satoshi Furukawa5 & Chiaki Mukai5 Published: xx xx xxxx Reports that aging slows down in space prompted this investigation of anti-aging efects in humans by analyzing astronauts’ heart rate variability (HRV). Ambulatory 48-hour electrocardiograms from 7 astronauts (42.1 ± 6.8 years; 6 men) 20.6 ± 2.7 days (ISS01) and 138.6 ± 21.8 days (ISS02) after launch were divided into 24-hour spans of relative lower or higher magnetic disturbance, based on geomagnetic measures in Tromso, Norway. Magnetic disturbances were signifcantly higher on disturbed than on quiet days (ISS01: 72.01 ± 33.82 versus 33.96 ± 17.90 nT, P = 0.0307; ISS02: 71.06 ± 51.52 versus 32.53 ± 27.27 nT, P = 0.0308). SDNNIDX was increased on disturbed days (by 5.5% during ISS01, P = 0.0110), as were other HRV indices during ISS02 (SDANN, 12.5%, P = 0.0243; Triangular Index, 8.4%, P = 0.0469; and TF-component, 17.2%, P = 0.0054), suggesting the action of an anti-aging or longevity efect. The efect on TF was stronger during light (12:00–17:00) than during darkness (0:00–05:00) (P = 0.0268). The brain default mode network (DMN) was activated, gauged by increases in the LF-band (9.7%, P = 0.0730) and MF1-band (9.9%, P = 0.0281).

  • A Profile of Space Weather
    A Profile of Space Weather Space weather describes the conditions in space that affect Earth and its technological systems. Space weather is a consequence of the behavior of the Sun, the nature of Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, and our location in the solar system. The active elements of space weather are particles, electromagnetic energy, and magnetic field, rather than the more commonly known weather contributors of water, temperature, and air. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) forecasts space weather to assist users in avoiding or mitigating severe space weather. Most disruptions caused by space weather storms affect technology, With the rising sophistication of our technologies, and the number of people that rely on this technology, vulnerability to space weather events has increased dramatically. Geomagnetic Storms Induced Currents in the atmosphere and on the ground Electric Power Grid systems suffer (black-outs) Pipelines carrying oil, for instance, can be damaged by the high currents. Electric Charges in Space Solar Radiation Storms Satellites may encounter problems with the on- board components and electronic systems. Hazard to Humans Geomagnetic disruption in the upper atmosphere High radiation hazard to astronauts HF (high frequency) radio interference Less threathening, but can effect high-flying aircraft at high latitudes Satellite navigation (like GPS receivers) may be degraded Damage to Satellites Satellites can slow and even change orbit. High-energy particles can render satellites useless (either temporarily or permanently) The Aurora can be seen in high latitudes Impact on Communications HF communications as well as Low Frequency Navigation Signals are susceptible to radiation storms. HF communication at high latitudes is often impossible for several days during radiation storms Space Weather Prediction Center The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) Forecast Center is jointly operated by NOAA and the U.S.

Because of the considerable historical ties between Huntsville and the state of Mecklenburg Vorpommern (Germany) in the development of rockets, missiles, and eventually manned space flight, the Joint Space Weather Summer Camp was created to forge ties and develop communication between these two regions that have had such an impact on the 20th century. During the 4 week series of lectures, hands-on projects, experiments, and excursions you will be given an understanding of both the theoretical underpinnings and practical appli- cations of Space Weather and solar and space physics. During the first two weeks in Huntsville, we begin by focusing on the Sun as the primary cause of space weather in the entire solar system, and discuss fundamental processes in plasma physics, the solar wind and the interaction processes between the solar wind and Earth’s upper atmosphere.There will also be the opportunity to participate in either data or practical-based project work, enabling you to gain a practical understanding of the top- ics that will be discussed in the lectures both in Huntsville and in Germany.
