This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:

  • This CodeSystem is not used here; it may be used elsewhere (e.g. specifications and/or implementations that use this content)

This case-sensitive code system https://mitre.org/fhir/space-health/CodeSystem/space-environmental-factors-cs defines the following codes:

CodeDisplayDefinition
microgravity Microgravity A state of very weak gravity experienced in spacecraft in orbit, where the apparent weight is significantly less than on Earth but not completely zero
zero-gravity Zero Gravity The condition of apparent weightlessness experienced in freefall or in space
air-quality-space Space Habitat Air Quality The condition of air within confined spacecraft or space habitats, including levels of pollutants, CO2, and other gases
space-radiation Space Radiation Radiation experienced in the space environment, including galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and trapped radiation
vacuum-environment Vacuum Environment The near-vacuum conditions of space that pose risks to human health and spacecraft systems
cabin-pressure Cabin Pressure The atmospheric pressure maintained within spacecraft habitats
temperature-extremes Temperature Extremes The extreme hot and cold temperatures experienced in space depending on exposure to sunlight or shadow
lunar-dust Lunar Dust Fine particles of lunar regolith that can cause respiratory and equipment problems during lunar missions
martian-dust Martian Dust Fine particles of Martian regolith that can cause respiratory and equipment problems during Mars missions
space-debris Space Debris Artificial orbital debris that presents a collision hazard to spacecraft and astronauts during EVA
confined-living-space Confined Living Space The restricted living and working areas within spacecraft that can impact physical and psychological health
galactic-cosmic-radiation Galactic Cosmic Radiation High-energy particles originating outside the solar system that can penetrate spacecraft and human tissue
solar-particle-events Solar Particle Events Radiation from solar flares and coronal mass ejections that can pose acute radiation hazards
