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,…
When we think of space travel, we often picture rockets launching, astronauts floating, and distant planets waiting to be explored. But what happens to the human body in the process? More specifically, what happens to the…
As we prepare to return to the Moon and take humanity’s first steps toward Mars, one question becomes increasingly urgent: How do we safeguard astronaut health in deep space? Unlike Earth-based healthcare systems that rely on…
For decades, space exploration has pushed the boundaries of human knowledge, allowing us to better understand our universe. The International Space Station (ISS), which has been orbiting Earth since 1998, serves as a unique research laboratory,…
Space health research has long been a cornerstone of human spaceflight, helping astronauts mitigate the risks of microgravity, radiation exposure, and other extreme conditions. With commercial space travel becoming a reality and long-duration missions on the…
For centuries, we’ve gazed at the stars, dreaming of space travel. Today, that dream is a reality, with astronauts spending months aboard the International Space Station, living and working in a world without gravity. The recent…
In September 2024, the Polaris Dawn mission took a major step in space health research, conducting the first-ever commercial spacewalk while testing new health monitoring technologies. As human spaceflight pushes toward longer missions and aims for…
