摘要

As the world's space agencies and commercial entities continue to expand beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), novel approaches to carry out biomedical experiments with animals are required to address the challenge of adaptation to spaceflight and new planetary environments. The extended time and distance of space travel along with reduced involvement of Earth-based mission support increase the cumulative impact of the risks encountered in space. To respond to these challenges, it becomes increasingly important to develop the capability to manage animal safety and well-being during transportation and research experiments in space. One approach may be to take advantage of an organism's self-regulatory system, which enables them to better adapt and mitigate harmful environmental factors encountered in spaceflight. Recent technological advances have enabled researchers to suppress or enhance metabolism "on demand" in a variety of animal species. These animal models can be used as "pathfinders," which are capable of tolerating the environmental extremes exhibited in spaceflight, including altered gravity, exposure to space radiation, chemically reactive planetary environments, and temperature extremes. In this report, we survey several of the pivotal metabolic flexibility studies and discuss the importance of utilizing animal models with metabolic flexibility with particular attention given to the ability to suppress the organism's metabolism in spaceflight experiments beyond LEO. The presented analysis demonstrates the adjuvant benefits of these factors to minimize damage caused by exposure to spaceflight and extreme planetary environments. Examples of microorganisms and animal models with dormancy capabilities suitable for space research are considered in the context of their survivability under hostile or deadly environments outside of Earth. Potential steps toward implementation of metabolic control technology in spaceflight architecture and its benefits for animal experiments and manned space exploration missions are discussed.
