Habitat and radiation context
Environmental Telemetry
Crew health cannot be read in isolation from the spacecraft. CO₂, oxygen, pressure, temperature, humidity, noise, light and radiation share the mission timeline with physiological data.
Why it matters for long-duration spaceflight
- Elevated CO₂, noise and light disruption are recognised factors around sleep and performance.
- Radiation exposure accumulates across deep-space missions.
- Context explains signals — but correlation must not be presented as cause.
How The Mitochondria addresses it
- An environmental adapter accepts habitat gateway data through MQTT, WebSocket or REST clients injected by the host.
- A dosimeter adapter preserves detector and radiation-field context.
- Only reviewed canonical environmental metrics are exposed; unreviewed vendor scores fail closed.

Technical explanation
Radiation quantities stay separate
Absorbed dose (mGy), dose equivalent (mSv) and dose rate (µSv/h) are kept distinct and never numerically merged.
Location context
Environmental observations keep compartment or location so readings from different modules are not confused.
Implementation status and limitations
- Implemented in repository
Environmental and dosimetry adapter contracts and normalization are implemented and tested.
- Requires external host or hardware
No live habitat gateway or physical dosimeter is connected in the public deployment; scenarios use synthetic data.
Known limitations
- Radiation telemetry does not produce an autonomous biological risk score.
- CO₂ and cognition remain contextual and non-causal unless stronger evidence is approved.
The Mitochondria is human decision support. It does not diagnose, prescribe treatment or replace qualified medical judgment.
