Domains Of Life Sciences In Spacefaring: What, Where, And How To Get Involved — Geographical distribution of space life science research. Paper count is colored on a log scale in red for all countries available in the bibliometric analysis. Scattered blue dots are marked for cities with the largest citation counts. For the top 20 countries, we show the breakdown of citations as a pie chart in terms of the three corresponding disciplines of Astrobiology (green), Bioastronautics (blue), and Space Bioprocess Engineering (pink). Countries with light blue background indicate zero records. For fig. 1, We show the breakdown of citations as a pie chart in terms of the three corresponding disciplines of Astrobiology (green), Bioastronautics (blue), and Space Bioprocess Engineering (pink). Countries with non-zero records are log-scaled by the color Red. Countries with light blue background indicate zero records. — npj Microgravity

“The integration of biology and spacefaring has led to the development of three interrelated fields: Astrobiology, Bioastronautics, and Space Bioprocess Engineering. Astrobiology is concerned with the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe, while Bioastronautics focuses on the effects of spaceflight on biological systems, including human physiology and psychology. Space Bioprocess Engineering, on the other hand, deals with the design, deployment, and management of biotechnology for human exploration. This paper highlights the unique contributions of each field and outlines opportunities for biologists to engage in these exciting avenues of research. By providing a clear overview of the major fields of biology and spacefaring, this paper serves as a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in exploring the integration of these disciplines.” More here: “Astrobiology, Bioastronautics, And Space Bioprocess Engineering: Domains Of Life Sciences In Spacefaring: What, Where, And How To Get Involved“
