Systematic biomedical research of the NASA Twins Study. Study design, experimental information and classification of the putative health risks for future human spaceflight. This study lasted over 25 months, including time points before (preflight), 0–6 month flight (early flight), 7–12 month flight (late flight) and after (postflight) spaceflight. TW (flight subject), HR (ground subject). This risk classification is of great significance for the disease risk estimations of astronauts in spaceflight
