Abstrakt:	After a decline in interest in space missions following the cessation of the Apollo missions, there has been a recent resurgence. Activities on the International Space Station have raised awareness of a positive resumption of space travel to more challenging destinations such as Mars and a possible adaptation of human life on the Moon. The biological and physiological studies conducted on these stations in low Earth orbit are crucial in familiarizing humanity with the potential problems that can arise during long journeys. Cosmic rays and microgravity are the 2 main negative phenomena in space flights. Microgravity in the interplanetary environment plays a special role in altering normal organic processes. These studies are compared to studies conducted on Earth with laboratory technologies that mimic the space environment. To date, the molecular and physiological adaptations of the human body to this unnatural environment are very poor. The aim of this review is therefore to provide an overview of the most important findings on the molecular and physiological anomalies that develop during microgravity in short and long space flights.
