We are excited to be participating in the NASA Human Research Program (HRP) Investigators’ Workshop (IWS) 2026, between April 7–9. The HRP IWS brings together researchers, scientists, and collaborators across human spaceflight, with a focus on…
Human spaceflight is moving back into deep space. With Artemis II, astronauts will soon leave low Earth orbit for the first time since the Apollo missions and once again travel outside Earth’s protective magnetic field. Artemis…
Healthcare in space is shaped by two realities: there are no hospitals in orbit, and crews must diagnose and monitor their own health with limited tools and no real-time support from Earth. As space agencies, commercial…
On January 8, 2026, NASA announced it would bring the four astronauts of its Crew-11 mission back to Earth earlier than planned. One crew member had developed a medical issue that could not be fully evaluated…
How can astronauts stay safe when life-support systems are aging and data monitoring is fragmented? A recent NASA audit has reignited discussion about space health research. It focuses on one of the most vital systems keeping…
Imagine a world where studying cancer in space could help unlock new treatments on Earth. The Cancer in LEO-3 experiment aboard Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4) investigated triple-negative breast cancer organoids to understand how microgravity affects tumor…
What happens to the human body when gravity disappears? Astronauts experience rapid cardiovascular and vestibular adaptation, which can cause dizziness, fainting, or impaired performance. The Ax-4 mission’s Telemetric Health AI (TESH) study captures these physiological changes…
