Astronaut performanceManned space flightNASA s Constellation Program (CxP) will conduct a series of human space expeditions of increasing scope, starting with missions supporting the International Space Station and expanding to encompass the Moon and Mars. Although human-rating is an integral part of ...
don’t worry, NASA has considered this. If there is a problem and a private astronaut should be injured, they will have the infrastructure of NASA to back them up. “Every astronaut receives basic medical training to operate in the event of an injury, and will have support...

Either of these solutions often requires the in-situ instruments to have custom ad-hoc proprietary hardware, that is not modular. Moreover, once the satellite has retrieved the data, they have to be downloaded to the ground, which introduces a non-negligible latency. An example is the ...
the instrumentation and remote sensing technologies that have to be explored to cover the next decade of the measurement gaps of the Copernicus system, where monitoring of the polar regions is an emerging need, with improved revisit time and latency time for marine weather forecast and sea ice mo...

Previous work in Biomechanics was reviewed and the elements of physics required to analyze human motion in partial gravity was analyzed and several basic questions were generated. Included in these studies are NASA studies which look at parabolic flight and apparatus to simulate the effects of ...
