Current human spaceflight missions consist primarily of 4-6 month stays onboard the International Space Station (ISS), but in the future will include longer missions to the Moon and Mars. These missions will expose astronauts to increased risk of oxidative and inflammatory damage from a variety of sources (e.g., galactic cosmic radiation, psychological stress, reduced physical activity). Earth-based evidence suggests that increased oxidative stress and inflammation accelerates development of cardiovascular disease, but it is unclear if the spaceflight environment increases this risk in astronauts.
