Radiobiology Space

Space radiobiology is a branch of radiobiology that studies the biological effects of cosmic radiation and its interaction with other factors of flight in space. Cosmic radiation is a stream of particles such as protons, neutrons and gamma rays that can reach the Earth's surface from space. These particles can have negative effects on living organisms, causing mutations and DNA damage, which can lead to various diseases and death.

Space radiation is especially dangerous for astronauts who spend long periods of time in space and for space missions that involve long stays in orbit. To protect against space radiation, astronauts use special suits and helmets, as well as equipment that can absorb or deflect particles.

However, despite all precautions, space radiation still remains a health problem for astronauts and space missions. Some studies suggest that long periods of time in space may increase the risk of cancer and other diseases.

Thus, space radiobiology is an important branch of radiobiology and is of great importance for protecting the health of astronauts and conducting space missions in the future.

**Cosmic radiobiology** is a branch of radiobiology that studies the biological effect of cosmic rays (in combination with space flight conditions), as well as mainly the molecular basis of biological action, radiobiological parameters and methods for their regulation. Of these issues, the main interest is in predicting the adaptation of living systems to the conditions of deep space (hypoxia, gravitational hypokinesia, ultraviolet irradiation), and in the future - in issues of astronautics, including lunar flights and flights beyond the solar system.

Life is a complex system made up of many interacting elements such as chemicals, proteins, DNA and cells. When these elements are exposed to radiation, changes occur that can be beneficial or harmful to the body. This is due to the fact that radiation can damage the structure of biomolecules and cause mutations in the DNA of cells, which can lead to disruption of the functioning of the body
