When astronauts are 400 km above Earth, floating in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station, even everyday tasks like looking at a screen become more complex than they are on Earth. The Ax-4 mission,…
Long-duration space travel comes with unique health challenges, and one of the most significant is muscle loss. Astronauts in microgravity environments rapidly lose muscle mass, and their muscle cells’ ability to regenerate declines. To counter this,…
What if astronauts could control machines with just their thoughts? As space travel becomes more commercial and frequent, so does the need to understand how the human brain functions in microgravity. One promising frontier in space…
What’s the biggest health threat astronauts face beyond Earth’s orbit? It’s not zero gravity or isolation. It’s radiation. And understanding how to measure and manage it is key to the future of space health research. On…
Over the past five years, the rapid commercialization of spaceflight, led by companies like SpaceX, Axiom Space, and Blue Origin, has transformed who can go to space. This shift has introduced a new category of explorers:…
Monitoring sleep is one of the most persistent challenges astronauts face during missions. On-orbit sleep disturbances impact mission safety, performance, and long-term health, making sleep in orbit a vital focus in space health research. At TrialX,…
Before astronauts head to space, they undergo a period of pre-launch quarantine. This is a mission-critical protocol designed to protect astronaut health, spacecraft systems, and the scientific research conducted in orbit. In spaceflight, where every variable…
