CORRESPONDENCE 22 October 2024 Last month, SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission took humans beyond the orbit of the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time since the end of the Apollo Moon programme ( Nature 633 , 504–505; 2024). Notably, crew members did not have to meet the stringent medical criteria applied to ISS career astronauts, or even the less-stringent ones applied to ISS ‘space-flight participants’.

AbstractThe validity of venous ultrasound (V-US) for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during spaceflight is unknown and difficult to establish in diagnostic accuracy and diagnostic management studies in this context. We performed a systematic review of the use of V-US in the upper-body venous system in spaceflight to identify microgravity-related changes and the effect of venous interventions to reverse them, and to assess appropriateness of spaceflight V-US with terrestrial standards.
