Astronauts endure a lot in space and as we prepare to send our first woman to the moon, its important to consider whether men and women respond differently to space and space radiation. 
ESA’s Space Medicine Team is doing exactly that. Today, we chat with an intern in the team who is supporting the crowd-sourced systematic review of literature to see what we find regarding sex differences. 
The team ESA Space Medicine team at large comprises of medical doctors, biomedical engineers, exercise physiologists, psychologists, IT specialists, education coordinators, administrators and project managers. Each plays a vital role in ensuring the health and well-being of astronauts during all stages of a mission. To better support astronauts during current missions to the International Space Station and prepare for human missions beyond low Earth orbit, the Space Medicine Team is working to identify, evaluate and develop new space technologies and procedures.
