This event will highlight how lessons from terrestrial remote medicine can inform human spaceflight health systems and, in turn, transform care in extreme environments on Earth.

About The Event
The human spaceflight industry is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. After 70 years of government funded and operated spaceflight, the commercial industry has matured to the point where they are now launching private and commercial astronauts to space and are funded to build space stations. NASA is returning to the moon with the Artemis program. SpaceX is designing vehicles for Mars. With this transformation come new missions, new operating paradigms, and more diversity in the population flying than ever before. At the same time, the hazards of the spaceflight environment present new challenges to health, and new opportunities to learn and create. In this unique remote and austere environment, the vehicles, habitats, space suits, and systems that we design and deploy determine the likelihood of survival and the ability of astronauts to do the jobs they were sent to perform. The potential for lessons learned from terrestrial medicine to inform space medicine, and vice versa, is great. This webinar will highlight new and innovative perspectives and research at the convergence of human spaceflight and remote and austere medicine and systems including:
Space medicine
Space health systems and systems medicine
Risk assessment and management for remote environments
Physiologic changes in spaceflight
Radiation exposure and management
Impacts of isolated and confined environments
Food challenges and systems
Remote launch and landing support
Ecology and biosphere’s role in sustaining human health
Analog environments systems and technology testing
Lunar and Martian health systems planning
