The risk of adverse health outcomes and decrements in performance due to inflight medical conditions is among NASA’s “red” risks for Mars missions, scored at the highest likelihood and consequence on the rating scale. Importantly, this risk encompasses all possible medical conditions that might occur in spaceflight. At thesame time, exploration spaceflight will have significant resource constraints (mass, power, volume, data, etc.) and supplying the full complement of medical capabilities available on Earth will be impossible. Inevitably, medical conditions will develop during a human Mars mission and having inadequate inflight capabilities will have a negative impact on the health and performance of the astronauts, leading to adverse crew and/or mission outcomes.
