ABSTRACT

In the present era, scientific explorations have crossed the boundaries of our planet and are ready to venture into the unknown in an estimated time span of next 20 years. In the near future, manned missions to space will be for a longer period of time meaning that the human body will be exposed to a foreign environment for a longer duration of time. The space environment has various effects on the human body and if it’s not taken care of; may lead to long-term and irreversible damage. This article outlines some of the novel formulations which could be used for space travel and their stability testing mechanism. Future research should focus on potential advances to ensure that our space programs are well-equipped to assure astronaut safety as they explore deep space objectives.
