Human Adaption on Space: Innovative Nexus of Survival

Introduction

In this modern civilized world, The run beyond technology for the next level of technological  changes. But we know that, humans cannot live in space without advanced technology and  protection gears. Space is a hostile environment for human survival and adaptability. 

How to Overcome The Limitations? 

  • Development of higher protection gears in space suite,  
  • Advancement of technology and instrumentation,
  • Greater scope of research done on all environment of space.

The study of the microbiome in space is an interesting area of research and  development. Microbiome refers to the collection of microorganisms that live in and  on the human body.

In space, astronauts are faced to unique conditions that can  affect their microbiome, such as microgravity, radiation, and other confined living  spaces.

How Astronauts Can Create Habitable Microbiome in Space

For Creating and maintaining a healthy human microbiome in space is important for the  overall health firstly, and well-being of astronauts health conditions during space  missions.  

Probiotics

Providing astronauts with probiotics and some essentialities, which  are beneficial bacteria and micro nutrients that can help maintain a healthy  microbiome which is too beneficial. Probiotics can be consumed through  supplements or certain foods. 

Diet

A well balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can  help support a diverse and healthy microbiome. Providing astronauts with  nutritious meals that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria is essential. For further Survival purposes. 

Hygiene

Maintaining good hygiene practices in the confined space of a  spacecraft is crucial to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and maintain a  healthy microbiome. Regular cleaning and disinfection protocols and conditions  should be followed. To prevent from sick illnesses. 

Exercises

Regular physical activity has been shown to have a positive impact  on the microbiome. Providing astronauts with opportunities for exercise which do  may increase the potentiality in space can help support a healthy microbiome adaptation. 

Stress Management

High levels of stress can negatively impact the microbiome. Because of oxygen deficiency and some others. So, Implementing stress management techniques and providing psychological support for  astronauts can help to build a healthy microbiome.

Usage of Technology and driven research to build human microbiome in space

Creating and maintaining a healthy human microbiome in space involves the use of  various technologies and strategies to support the growth of beneficial bacteria and  maintain overall health In space research for our necessities at an ease. 

By using Microbiome Analysis, technologies such as DNA sequencing and  metagenomics are used to analyse the composition of the microbiome in astronauts.  This information definitely helps researchers understand the changes in the  microbiome due to space travel and develop targeted interventions and discoveries. 

Advanced hygiene technologies, such as antimicrobial surfaces, air purification  systems, co lateral dimensional and water treatment methods, are used in spacecraft  and mars ,other celestials to prevent the growth and spread of harmful bacteria and  maintain a healthy microbiome environment. 

Biogenerative life system and support technology will enhance the long-duration space  missions, bioregenerative life support systems are being developed to create a closed loop and celestial environment where waste products are recycled into resources, including food and oxygen. These systems can also help maintain a balanced  microbiome environment. Recycling will do a biogenesis of human life expedition in  space.

An Environmental Monitoring by Bioinformatics tools are used to analyse environmental  data collected in space habitats. This includes monitoring air quality, water quality, and  microbial contamination to ensure a safe and healthy environment for astronauts.  

Genomic Analysis through Bioinformatics tools are used to analyse the genomic data of  organisms exposed to space conditions. This helps researchers understand how space  travel affects gene expression, mutations, and overall genetic health. 

Why to Choose Human Microbiome on Space

On behalf of advancement of higher technology and civilisation of humans, we  ourselves destroying the earths bio sources and nature. So in future, we definitely thrive  for hunger, life survival, oxygen deficiency ,no space for survival on earth because of  population and much more consequences as well.

A high research is going on this by  various space organisations we knew it already. But bringing human microbiome in  space will helps in many aspects. 

We can understand our earth orgin and their history of formation, if we do exist outside  the planet, that’s only possible by creating a artificial human microbiome on space for  research and development proposes.

Scientific Exploration for Study of potential human life in space can advance our scientific knowledge and understanding of biology,  evolution, and the conditions necessary for life to exist.

This can lead to breakthroughs  in various fields of science and space technology. As well as planetary habitat and  survival of humanity with potentially of extra terrestrial life though. 

Conclusion

Devolvement of human microbiome in space is quiet difficult task, but by using higher  source of technology and knowledge we can bring it on space for our various  necessities and purpose, Which will leave a great scientific discovery.

Research and  development over microbiome will enhance the scope of life existence on space at any  atmospheric conditions.
