Axiom Space private astronaut missions support breakthroughs in space, bringing benefits to every human, everywhere.
HUMANS is a MIT student-led project that combines art and nanotechnology for increasing global representation in space. HUMANS has created a record of voices from people all around the world in their native languages, sharing their thoughts on the meaning of space for themselves and humanity. This six-inch record, inspired by The Golden Record, has been etched using cutting-edge MIT nanotechnology to be launched up to the ISS. HUMANS creates a symbolic avenue for space access worldwide and emphasizes how space should remain a “space" for everyone.
Aexa’s Holographic Teleportation Behavioral (Holoportation Behavioral) demonstrates two-way communications between crew members on the Axiom-1 (Ax-1) private astronaut mission (PAM) to the International Space Station and ground using a mixed-reality application. The technology includes a HoloLens 2 Artificial Reality headset and HoloWizard mixed reality application to provide users 360-degree holographic images of each other. This capability represents a significant advancement in communication for remote settings.
This study will investigate the effects of short-term stays in low Earth orbit on astronaut health by examining changes in the human gut microbiome. Stool samples will be collected at regular intervals before, during, and after flight and the microbiome composition analyzed. Changes in microbiome composition could impact the health of future crews, so this research can help inform dietary or medical treatments for crew in future. The research also offers insight into gut health, which could lead to improved management of gut-related conditions on Earth and development of personalized nutritrion programs.
This neuroimaging study, performed pre- and post-flight, will study the impact of microgravity during space travel on the human brain and aim to identify potential cognitive and performance risks in astronauts. The study will use high field magentic resonance imaging (7T MRI) of the brain to investigate the impact of microgravity on the representation of the body, changes in neural vascular physiology, and aspects of the blood-brain barrier. Results may lead to better understanding of the impact on spaceflight on the brain.
