According to ISS documentation, long-duration missions are defined as missions exceeding 30 days. The ISS medical organization has set a 180-day limit for ISS missions from a medical perspective, with a possibility of planning missions of up to 220days with additional consideration. The ISS medical community does not currently consider changes to the existing duration constraints for ISS mission planning. However, longer stays on orbit may be highly desirable or even necessary in certain foreseeable operational circumstances. To develop a methodology for contingency planning, the ISS medical community, led by NASA, has identified medically relevant risks associated with extended stays of crewmembers aboard the ISS.
