标题： One Giant Leap for Womankind: First Menstrual Cups Tested in Space Flight Conditions

摘要： 在太空探索的早期，当莎莉·莱德被提供100个卫生棉条用于为期一周的任务时，月经医疗设备首次开始在太空条件下使用。 自那时起，荷尔蒙月经抑制已成为管理太空月经的首选方法，提供了显著的优势。 然而，这对于选择经期的宇航员来说并不是一个选项。 缺乏可持续的月经技术将对前往月球和火星的长期任务构成挑战，宇航员可能在太空中度过数年。 AstroCup任务是首次在航天飞行中测试月经杯的努力，评估其耐用性和功能性。 通过材料完整性测试和使用人类血液的流变学模拟进行功能评估，我们展示了月经杯的韧性，并讨论了它们对未来月球和火星任务中可持续月经管理的意义。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In the early days of space exploration, when Sally Ride was offered 100 tampons for a week-long mission, menstrual medical devices first began to be used in space conditions. Since then, hormonal menstrual suppression has become the preferred method for managing menstruation in space, offering significant advantages. However, this is not an option for astronauts who choose to menstruate. The lack of sustainable menstrual technologies will pose challenges for long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars, where astronauts may spend years in space. The AstroCup mission represents the first effort to test menstrual cups in spaceflight, evaluating their durability and functionality. Through material integrity tests and functional assessments using a rheological analogue of human blood, we demonstrate the resilience of menstrual cups and discuss their implications for sustainable menstrual management in future lunar and Martian missions.
