Abstract
Although a dust-repellent surface is desirable for lunar exploration missions, its fabrication process is complicated and time-consuming. Herein, we report a simple and fast method to fabricate a lunar dust-repellent surface by texturing on an Al substrate via nanosecond laser etching. The laser-induced photothermal effect can rapidly create hierarchical papillary structures on 25 × 25 mm Al substrates (within 30 s). Both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that such structures enable a reduced contact area between the Al substrate and lunar dust and thus reduced adhesion. The reduced dust adhesion force of Al substrates facilitates improving their antidust performance. By optimizing processing parameters, the Al substrate etched with a laser scanning spacing of 80 μm exhibits a lower dust adhesion force (9.58 nN) due to the smallest contact area with dust. Accordingly, its static antilunar dust performance (dust coverage of 1.95%) is significantly improved compared to the pristine Al substrate (dust coverage of 12.98%). Besides, the accumulated dust on the laser-etched Al substrates with low surface adhesion force is easily cleaned up by flipping and gravity (the dust residual rates are less than 17%). The Al substrate with excellent antidust ability presents good potential for lunar exploration missions.

Abstract
The safety and health of individuals who may be exposed to the spaceflight environment are first and foremost cared for through prevention. This environment, which encompasses microgravity, radiation, and alternobaric factors, can have physiologic impacts on every human system. Available medical care and resources in the spaceflight environment are currently limited by mass and volume constraints, with available medical resources thereby focusing on a patient's stabilization and evacuation. An understanding of the spaceflight environment and its possible effects is crucial for the treatment of individuals prior to, during, and after spaceflight.

Artificial Space Weathering to Mimic Solar Wind Enhances the Toxicity of Lunar Dust Simulants in Human Lung Cells. GEOHEALTH 2024; 8:e2023GH000840.

Abstract
During NASA's Apollo missions, inhalation of dust particles from lunar regolith was identified as a potential occupational hazard for astronauts. These fine particles adhered tightly to spacesuits and were unavoidably brought into the living areas of the spacecraft. Apollo astronauts reported that exposure to the dust caused intense respiratory and ocular irritation. This problem is a potential challenge for the Artemis Program, which aims to return humans to the Moon for extended stays in this decade. Since lunar dust is "weathered" by space radiation, solar wind, and the incessant bombardment of micrometeorites, we investigated whether treatment of lunar regolith simulants to mimic space weathering enhanced their toxicity. Two such simulants were employed in this research, Lunar Mare Simulant-1 (LMS-1), and Lunar Highlands Simulant-1 (LHS-1), which were added to cultures of human lung epithelial cells (A549) to simulate lung exposure to the dusts. In addition to pulverization, previously shown to increase dust toxicity sharply, the simulants were exposed to hydrogen gas at high temperature as a proxy for solar wind exposure. This treatment further increased the toxicity of both simulants, as measured by the disruption of mitochondrial function, and damage to DNA both in mitochondria and in the nucleus. By testing the effects of supplementing the cells with an antioxidant (N-acetylcysteine), we showed that a substantial component of this toxicity arises from free radicals. It remains to be determined to what extent the radicals arise from the dust itself, as opposed to their active generation by inflammatory processes in the treated cells.

Abstract
Introduction: During exploratory space flights astronauts risk exposure to toxic planetary dust. Exhaled nitric oxide partial pressure (PENO) is a simple method to monitor lung health by detecting airway inflammation after dust inhalation. The turnover of NO in the lungs is dependent on several factors which will be altered during planetary exploration such as gravity (G) and gas density. To investigate the impacts of these factors on normal PENO, we took measurements before and during a stay at the International Space Station, at both normal and reduced atmospheric pressures. We expected stable PENO levels during the preflight and inflight periods, with lower values inflight. With reduced pressure we expected no net changes of PENO. Material and methods: Ten astronauts were studied during the pre-flight (1 G) and inflight (µG) periods at normal pressure [1.0 ata (atmospheres absolute)], with six of them also monitored at reduced (0.7 ata) pressure and gas density. The average observation period was from 191 days before launch until 105 days after launch. PENO was measured together with estimates of alveolar NO and the airway contribution to the exhaled NO flux. Results: The levels of PENO at 50 mL/s (PENO50) were not stable during the preflight and inflight periods respectively but decreased with time (p = 0.0284) at a rate of 0.55 (0.24) [mean (SD)] mPa per 180 days throughout the observation period, so that there was a significant difference (p < 0.01, N = 10) between gravity conditions. Thus, PENO50 averaged 2.28 (0.70) mPa at 1 G and 1.65 (0.51) mPa during µG (-27%). Reduced atmospheric pressure had no net impact on PENO50 but increased the airway contribution to exhaled NO. Discussion: The time courses of PENO50 suggest an initial airway inflammation, which gradually subsided. Our previous hypothesis of an increased uptake of NO to the blood by means of an expanded gas-blood interface in µG leading to decreased PENO50 is neither supported nor contradicted by the present findings. Baseline PENO50 values for lung health monitoring in astronauts should be obtained not only on ground but also during the relevant gravity conditions and before the possibility of inhaling toxic planetary dust.

Abstract
Long-duration spaceflight can have adverse effects on human health. One of the most common ocular conditions experienced by astronauts is dry eye disease (DED). Symptoms of DED include feelings of eye irritation, eye strain, foreign body sensation and blurred vision. Over 30% of International Space Station expedition crew members reported irritation and foreign body sensation. We reviewed the current literature on the prevalence and mechanisms of DED in astronauts and its potential implications for long-duration spaceflight, including the influence of environmental factors, such as microgravity and fluid shift on tear film physiology in space. DED has negative effects on astronaut performance, which is why there is a need for further research into the pathophysiology and countermeasures. As an in-flight countermeasure, neurostimulation seems to be among the most promising options.

A review of pulmonary neutrophilia and insights into the key role of neutrophils in particle-induced pathogenesis in the lung from animal studies of lunar dusts and other poorly soluble dust particles. Crit Rev Toxicol 2023; 53:441-479. [PMID: 37850621 PMCID: PMC10872584 DOI: 10.1080/10408444.2023.2258925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/19/2023]
Abstract
The mechanisms of particle-induced pathogenesis in the lung remain poorly understood. Neutrophilic inflammation and oxidative stress in the lung are hallmarks of toxicity. Some investigators have postulated that oxidative stress from particle surface reactive oxygen species (psROS) on the dust produces the toxicopathology in the lungs of dust-exposed animals. This postulate was tested concurrently with the studies to elucidate the toxicity of lunar dust (LD), which is believed to contain psROS due to high-speed micrometeoroid bombardment that fractured and pulverized lunar surface regolith. Results from studies of rats intratracheally instilled (ITI) with three LDs (prepared from an Apollo-14 lunar regolith), which differed 14-fold in levels of psROS, and two toxicity reference dusts (TiO2 and quartz) indicated that psROS had no significant contribution to the dusts' toxicity in the lung. Reported here are results of further investigations by the LD toxicity study team on the toxicological role of oxidants in alveolar neutrophils that were harvested from rats in the 5-dust ITI study and from rats that were exposed to airborne LD for 4 weeks. The oxidants per neutrophils and all neutrophils increased with dose, exposure time and dust's cytotoxicity. The results suggest that alveolar neutrophils play a critical role in particle-induced injury and toxicity in the lung of dust-exposed animals. Based on these results, we propose an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for particle-associated lung disease that centers on the crucial role of alveolar neutrophil-derived oxidant species. A critical review of the toxicology literature on particle exposure and lung disease further supports a neutrophil-centric mechanism in the pathogenesis of lung disease and may explain previously reported animal species differences in responses to poorly soluble particles. Key findings from the toxicology literature indicate that (1) after exposures to the same dust at the same amount, rats have more alveolar neutrophils than hamsters; hamsters clear more particles from their lungs, consequently contributing to fewer neutrophils and less severe lung lesions; (2) rats exposed to nano-sized TiO2 have more neutrophils and more severe lesions in their lungs than rats exposed to the same mass-concentration of micron-sized TiO2; nano-sized dust has a greater number of particles and a larger total particle-cell contact surface area than the same mass of micron-sized dust, which triggers more alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) to synthesize and release more cytokines that recruit a greater number of neutrophils leading to more severe lesions. Thus, we postulate that, during chronic dust exposure, particle-inflicted AECs persistently release cytokines, which recruit neutrophils and activate them to produce oxidants resulting in a prolonged continuous source of endogenous oxidative stress that leads to lung toxicity. This neutrophil-driven lung pathogenesis explains why dust exposure induces more severe lesions in rats than hamsters; why, on a mass-dose basis, nano-sized dusts are more toxic than the micron-sized dusts; why lung lesions progress with time; and why dose-response curves of particle toxicity exhibit a hockey stick like shape with a threshold. The neutrophil centric AOP for particle-induced lung disease has implications for risk assessment of human exposures to dust particles and environmental particulate matter.

Abstract
The lunar dust problem was first formulated in 1969 with NASA's first successful mission to land a human being on the surface of the Moon. Subsequent Apollo missions failed to keep the dust at bay, so exposure to the dust was unavoidable. In 1972, Harrison Schmitt suffered a brief sneezing attack, red eyes, an itchy throat, and congested sinuses in response to lunar dust. Some additional Apollo astronauts also reported allergy-like symptoms after tracking dust into the lunar module. Immediately following the Apollo missions, research into the toxic effects of lunar dust on the respiratory system gained a lot of interest. Moreover, researchers believed other organ systems might be at risk, including the skin and cornea. Secondary effects could translocate to the cardiovascular system, the immune system, and the brain. With current intentions to return humans to the moon and establish a semi-permanent presence on or near the moon's surface, integrated, end-to-end dust mitigation strategies are needed to enable sustainable lunar presence and architecture. The characteristics and formation of Martian dust are different from lunar dust, but advances in the research of lunar dust toxicity, mitigation, and protection strategies can prove strategic for future operations on Mars.
