Space CPR Analogs ✈️🫀
✓ To help prepare humans for safe long-duration space travel, a research team based at Concordia has developed a new high-fidelity simulator that models how blood flows (hemodynamics) in reduced gravity environments.

In science fiction movies, Mars is often depicted as a challenging but ultimately survivable environment for humanity.🟠
-Reality is very different. Exposure to the Martian environment isn't just hostile to human beings; it's immediately lethal.🚫
Can you really survive on Mars?
•The reality is a very different story. Exposure to the unmediated Martian environment isn't just hostile to human beings; it's immediately lethal.

Human health may be the limiting factor in humanity’s next giant leap.
—Pushing toward the Moon and Mars, immunology and infectious disease must be treated as mission-critical risks.
Autonomous crews need autonomous health strategies. 🧑🚀🦠 #deepspacemedicine #immunesystem
Human health in the space environment will be an important factor in deep space operations.
•Are we considering the potential impacts of immunology and infectious disease?

Software for calculation of doses of ionizing radiation from cosmic radiation has been developed since late 1980s. Radiation doses for most flight crews flying up to 1000hrs annually are recognized as safe according to international standards. @FAANews

Recent @theNASEM report recommends that the FAA strengthen its approach to occupational radiation exposure.
~That includes improving how exposure is assessed, tracked, communicated, and managed across the aviation industry.
