Frontiers in Physics,8,568124.2296-424X10.3389/fphy.2020.568124http://hdl.handle.net/10566/5447A better understanding of the combined impact of different space stressors on human health is urgently warranted, considering the upcoming long-duration missions beyond lower Earth orbit. Therefore, a growing number of particle accelerator facilities implement ground-based set-ups to study the effect of simulated space radiation with simulated psychological or physical stressors. The immune system is highly sensitive to these types of stressors and limited information is currently available on the impact of the complex space radiation environment on the astronauts’ immune function.enRadiation in spaceImmune systemSpace radiobiologyTerrestrial analogAstronaut healthArticle
