Health & Safety Are Our Top Priorities.
Medical Services & Support
(From Pre-Blast-Off to Post-Splash-Down)
Scope: End-to-end clinical operations for human spaceflight — covering pre-mission assessment, in-flight medicine, and post-mission rehabilitation.
Functions:
Pre-mission medical evaluations and personalized readiness plans.
In-flight medical console operations and teleconsultation.
Post-mission physiological and psychological recovery programs.
Continuous data monitoring and performance optimization.
Value: OrbitalMed’s medical services and support are designed to ensure consistent care throughout the mission lifecycle, enabling compliance with evolving NASA and FAA standards while lowering risk and streamlining cost for commercial and government clients.
Pre-Flight
In the pre-flight phase, OrbitalMed’s experienced astronauts will provide an overview of spaceflight and what to expect while in space. This initial orientation will cover OrbitalMed’s medical support, training, and certification processes, preparing travelers for the journey ahead.
In-Flight
During the space mission, the OrbitalMed staff will be on call 24/7 to provide the space traveler assistance while acclimating to the experience of spaceflight. OrbitalMed will provide guidance to ensure that the mission delivers an exciting experience that will last a lifetime.
Post-Flight
Upon returning to Earth, the space traveler will be monitored by our medical staff as the body readjusts to Earth's environment. Specialized medical testing will be performed to verify that the traveler’s health has returned to pre-flight baseline.
Training & Credentialing
Scope: A standardized curriculum for flight surgeons, mission medics, and dual-use specialists, intended to establish the global benchmark for space health readiness.
Functions:
Simulation-based training for spaceflight medical operations.
Certification and continuing education for mission health professionals.
Dual-use modules for terrestrial applications—defense, maritime, and disaster response.
Online and in-person delivery through accredited institutional partners.
Value: This program is designed to address a critical workforce gap by building a credentialed, insurable, and mission-qualified medical corps and establishing OrbitalMed’s role as the credentialing authority in the industry.
Research & Innovation
Scope: A dedicated applied research engine advancing AI diagnostics, telemedicine, biopharma countermeasures, and analog studies to improve human adaptation and resilience in space.
Functions:
Development of predictive health analytics and decision-support tools.
Clinical studies focused on radiation exposure, isolation, microgravity, and stress physiology.
Partnerships with academic and research institutions.
Technology transfer to accelerate Earth-based healthcare innovation.
Value: We believe our research and innovation will build OrbitalMed’s credibility in space medicine while pioneering new technology, processes, and techniques that benefit our full line of service offerings.
Regulatory & Policy Advisory
Scope: Strategic advisory services guiding regulators, operators, and governments in shaping medical standards, ethics, and compliance frameworks for space exploration.
Functions:
Regulatory navigation (NASA HRP, FAA 460, DoD, international agencies).
Policy and ethics consulting for emerging spacefaring nations and commercial operators.
Development of medical governance and safety certification protocols.
Facilitation of international standards alignment for cross-agency interoperability.
Value: We believe this advisory function will position OrbitalMed as both a practitioner and policy architect, shaping how space health is governed globally and ensuring our clients meet the highest standards of compliance, safety, and ethical accountability.
