AbstractThe sky of Chile has the ideal conditions for astronomy worldwide, which has led to crucial scientific development for the country in this and other areas. In the coming years, several space missions will occur, the crew members' health being essential for their success. Space medicine studies the changes in human physiology in space, which is entirely altered. It is essential to understand the pathology in the space environment to develop countermeasures to mitigate the different risks, one of the main ones being space radiation, among others. The development of this area of medicine will allow new advances in health on Earth.
