RESUMO
El cielo de Chile cuenta con las condiciones ideales para la astronomía a nivel mundial, lo que ha conllevado un desarrollo científico importante para el país en esta y otras áreas. En los próximos años varias misiones espaciales sucederán, siendo de importancia para su éxito la salud de los tripulantes. La medicina espacial se preocupa y estudia los cambios en la fisiología humana en el espacio, la que se ve alterada en su totalidad. Es fundamental el entendimiento de la patología en el ambiente espacial para el desarrollo de contramedidas para mitigar los diferentes riesgos, siendo uno de los principales la radiación espacial entre otros. El desarrollo de esta área de la medicina permitirá nuevos avances en la salud en la Tierra.
