Astronauts experience higher radiation and altered gravity levels in space, which increase the risk of health threatening incidents, such as bone demineralisation, bones mass reduction, diminished cardiovascular activity, injuries, or even cancer. Severe health incidents such as extensive burns, bone fractures or even organ failure, can lead to serious emergency situations, and potentially to the death of the astronaut if not treated correctly in time.
