Spaceflight conditions provide a unique and dynamic environment with multiple stressors. These stressors include microgravity/reduced gravity, ionizing radiation, altered temperature, altered gas composition, altered day/night light cycles, isolation, and reduced atmospheric pressures. Spaceflight habitats are engineered to operate within these stressors, yet still have unique physical parameters, for example, there is 10 times more CO2 in the closed environment on the International Space Station (ISS) than normally encountered on Earth.
