Some magnetobiological problems of orbital (in the geomagnetic field--GMF) and interplanetary (in hypomagnetic conditions) flights are considered. The influence of electromagnetic fields (EMF) created by systems and equipment of the space vehicle (SV) are touched also. A level of the geomagnetic field (GMF) onboard during the orbital flights is discussed. Its periodic variations onboard owing to movement of SV on an orbit are analyzed. The reader's attention in attracted to the papers by R.M. Baevsky et al. in which the influence of magnetic storms and periodic variations of GMS on the cardiovascular system of astronauts onboard are shown. Possible ways and mechanisms of the influence are discussed. The wrong assertions in a number of works namely that at orbital flights an appreciable electrical field is induced in an organism of an astronaut in a space-craft and the electrical field may by responsible for some biological impacts are analyzed. The situation at the future in the terplanetary flights (for example Martian missions) when a crew and biological objects for a long time will be in the interplanetary magnetic field (by several orders less then GMF) is considered. As applied to the flights the opportunities of generation onboard the "artificial" GMF are outlined. The ensuing biological and technical questions are discussed.

Commercially available insulin pumps for treatment of diabetes mellitus are currently not qualified to operate in the space environment. This work rigorously tested the fluid delivery performance of a Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump in both micro- and hypergravity during a parabolic microgravity research flight. The parabolic research flight environment serves as an analogue to the types of transient gravitational loadings experienced during human-led missions, which provides a foundation to expand testing to suborbital and orbital flights in addition to other extreme environmental tests for wilderness dependency.

Eccentric planets may spend a significant portion of their orbits at large distances from their host stars, where low temperatures can cause atmospheric CO to condense out onto the surface, similar to the polar ice caps on Mars. The radiative effects on the climates of these planets throughout their orbits would depend on the wavelength-dependent albedo of surface CO ice that may accumulate at or near apoastron and vary according to the spectral energy distribution of the host star. To explore these possible effects, we incorporated a CO ice-albedo parameterization into a one-dimensional energy balance climate model.

Due to a short flight time, the dual-axis rotational inertial navigation system carried by some launch vehicles or missiles is often only used for self-calibration and self-alignment. It is generally in the strap-down state rather than the rotation modulation state during flight. This wastes the precision potential of the navigation system.

This paper investigates an integrated model-control scheme for large-scale spacecraft, focusing on orbit-attitude-vibration dynamics subject to strong time-varying coupling characteristics. The proposed scheme aims to achieve cooperative modeling and control for orbit maintenance, attitude stabilization and vibration suppression simultaneously. An integrated dynamic model is established using the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation and Lagrangian mechanics, where time-varying coupling terms are preserved to enhance model integrity, contrasting with the reduction and decoupling methods commonly adopted in existing literature.

Yield validation of dinitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) catalysts with N isotope labeling experiments is frustrated by the high cost of N and the frequent occurrence of NH and NO impurities in commercial N sources. Also, gas diffusion electrode (GDE) cell architectures are relevant to scaling NRR but underexplored and limited by ex situ product analysis methods. To overcome these obstacles, we develop and demonstrate a protocol for NRR catalyst testing using a scalable GDE cell architecture and specialized test station that facilitates in-line product analysis with multiturn time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
