NASA TECHNICAL STANDARD NASA-STD-3001 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Approved: 03-05-2007 Washington, D.C. 20546-0001 Expiration Date: 03-05-2012 Superseding NASA-STD-3000, Vol. 1, Chapter 7 and JSC 26882, Space Flight Health Requirements Document NASA SPACE FLIGHT HUMAN SYSTEM STANDARD VOLUME 1: CREW HEALTH Measurement System Identification: NONE  DOCUMENT HISTORY LOG Status Document Revision Approval Date Description Baseline 03-05-2007 Initial Release  FOREWORD This standard is published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to establish standards for providing a healthy and safe environment for crewmembers, and to provide health and medical programs for crewmembers during all phases of space flight. Standards are established to optimize crew health and performance, thus contributing to overall mission success, and to prevent negative long-term health consequences due to space flight. In this document, the Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer establishes NASA’s space flight crew health standards for the pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight phases of human space flight. These standards apply to all NASA human space flight programs and are not developed for any specific program. However, while some of the existing programs, such as the Space Shuttle and International Space Station programs, meet the intent and purpose of these standards currently, these standards may have implications for longer duration missions and missions with architectures and objectives outside of low Earth orbit. Although the standards are applicable to the in-flight phase of all space missions, it is anticipated that they will be most relevant during long-duration lunar outpost and Mars exploration missions, since the combined ill effects of exposure to the space environment will be of most concern in those mission scenarios. This standard is approved for use by NASA Headquarter
