NASA is deploying tiny lab devices called organ chips with human cells aboard Artemis II to study how space affects human biology, focusing initially on bone marrow, to improve health protections for astronauts on lunar and Mars missions. These chips will help personalize medical care, predict responses to space radiation, and enhance safety during long-duration space travel.
The Bio-SPHERE project, launched by researchers at the University of Birmingham, is investigating how scientific and medical operations would take place in the challenging environments of the Moon and Mars. The project is based in a unique research facility located 1.1 km below the surface, in one of the deepest mine sites in the UK. The facility will help to gather information that can advise on the life support systems, devices and biomaterials which could be used in medical emergencies and tissue repair following damage in deep-space missions.
The Bio-SPHERE project, launched by the University of Birmingham, is using tunnels deep underground in North Yorkshire to study how humans might be able to live and operate on the moon or on Mars. The project investigates how scientific and medical operations would take place in the challenging environments of the moon and Mars. The first facility to be opened as part of Bio-SPHERE is based in a 3-meter-wide simulation module and is designed specifically to test biomedical procedures needed to prepare materials for treating tissue damage.
