| Abstract: | Humanspace missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), such as to the Moon and Mars, will require increased crew autonomyinhealthmanagement,duetocommunicationdelaysandlimitedresupply. Thesemissionsposeuniquebiomedicalchallenges,includingradiationexposure,alteredgravity,and prolonged isolation, which can affect physiology and compromise available treatments. This review examines current efforts in pharmaceutical and biomedical strategies to support health preservation during long-duration missions. We discuss technologies needed to assuredrug stability and storage, also considering potential modifications of pharmacokinetics in space, and the potential of nanotechnologies, physical therapies, and in-situ manufacturing. Non-pharmacological tools for diagnostics, trauma care, and tissue regeneration are highlighted for their promise in enhancing medical self-sufficiency. These advances are not only critical for ensuring mission success and crew safety beyond LEO, yet may also translate to healthcare solutions in remote or underserved Earth settings. |
