Aims:
Retrospective evaluation to understand the effects of deep-space radiation to changes in the microbial profile of the spaceflight environment and crew members’ resident microbiome. The evaluation should focus on the increased risk of infectious or other microbiologically-associated disease when the microorganism, the host, or both are exposed to radiation levels expected during spaceflight missions.
