Outreach Event
What health risks do astronauts face when they explore the final frontier? In the field of space medicine, research is conducted in space and on Earth to study short- and long-term impacts of space travel on physical and mental health. We will discuss past and ongoing research in space medicine, evaluate how health risks are addressed in space missions today, and consider the implications as we approach an era of commercial space travel.
