Building the Foundations of Off-Planet Healthcare.
A Step Towards the Future, this mission with Crew-1 marked the beginning of an exciting journey in space medicine research.
Mission I:
Throughout Summer 2023 the first fellowship research mission was conducted. Crew-1 brought together an outstanding group of students passionate about advancing human health in space. The program featured five undergraduate students from prestigious institutions such as Cornell University and Columbia University, alongside an exceptional high school student. Together, these young researchers delved deep into the complexities of space medicine, contributing significantly to our collective understanding.
Investigating past incidents and medical emergencies to better prepare for future missions.
Exploring the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications in microgravity and their implications on astronaut health.
Assessing the medical equipment needed for space travel, ensuring reliability and effectiveness in zero-gravity conditions.
The overarching goal of the Crew-1 Mission was to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive space medicine knowledgebase. This digital repository aims to consolidate valuable information, research findings, and insights, ultimately serving as a go-to medical information network.
BioAstra is more than a research initiative—it’s a movement to transform healthcare through space-driven innovation.
Whether you’re a scientist, an investor, or a visionary, your collaboration can help shape the future of medicine for space and Earth.
