Axiom Space private astronaut missions support breakthroughs in space, bringing benefits to every human, everywhere.
The aim of this HUNOR project is to create an interactive 3D video tour of the ISS, with a special focus on the everyday activities of the HUNOR crewmember and mission. The tour, available in VR and compatible with VR headsets, will provide a personal perspective on life in space, including tasks like eating, working, and moving in microgravity.
This project aims to validate a system that simulates how clothing affects heat transfer in different gravity environments, including microgravity, where heat convection is altered. The research will involve monitoring physiological and cloth responses to exercise on orbit and could inform suit development for future space applications. This technology could be used on Earth to enhance clothing technology for extreme environments, and imrpove body thermal management in industries such as healthcare and sports.
This experiment aims to demonstrate that astronauts with insulin-dependent diabetes can be supported for short duration stays in microgravity. This will be achieved by demonstrating accurate blood glucose testing, data transmission, and insulin viability on International Space Station. This research will help enable people with diabetes to participate in future space missions, thus expanding the eligibility of crew and expanding access to space to more people. This project is a partnership with Burjeel Holdings PLC, a UAE-based healthcare services provider.
The ESA-led Surface Avatar project is focused on developing robotic assets for space exploration, building infrastructure on planets and asteroids, and optimizing processes for data connections and communications relays.It is also looking at how well an operator responds to haptic (touch) feedback while controlling the robots. The applications of this project are also useful in scenarios such as arctic exploration, search and rescue in disaster zones, and under-sea maintenance.
