Humans to the Moon and Mars Summit: Protecting the Physical & Mental Health of Astronauts

MGB SPEAR MED’s Erik Antonsen recently attended the Humans to the Moon and Mars Summit and moderated a panel focused on protecting the physical and mental health of astronauts. The discussion brought together leading experts from NASA Johnson Space Center and affiliated organizations, including Michelle Frieling, Dr. Rahul Suresh, Dr. Karina Marshall-Goebel, and Dr. Lauren Blackwell Landon. Together, the panel examined the medical, physiological, and behavioral health challenges of long-duration exploration and the strategies needed to keep crews safe throughout deep-space missions. This panel was recorded and is available online now, and features a thoughtful discussion around challenges and potential solutions to keeping humans healthy as they live in space.
