Research group projects

Space health and disaster risk reduction symposium

During our symposium we explored how prolonged, holistic听healthcare could听be provided during a deep space mission听by an interdisciplinary practitioner, and how this could benefit life on Earth. A consensus paper is now in development. The keynote speaker was听Dr Robert Thirsk,听Canadian Space Agency ex-astronaut and medical doctor.

The first UK analogue space research mission

This project is the first analogue space research mission听in the UK to simulate听the human exploration of another planet. The mission has been听developed by an international team of research group members. The mission is now complete and articles will be published shortly.听
