A growing space economy requires more than launch systems and spacecraft. It requires a healthcare ecosystem designed for the people who will travel beyond Earth.

The challenges of space can create opportunities to rethink how healthcare is delivered on Earth.

Government agencies, commercial operators, research institutions, and other organizations are preparing for missions that could extend beyond low Earth orbit, support new space stations and lunar operations, and ultimately enable longer-duration human exploration. As we push the next frontier in space, the need for experienced medical expertise and technology will grow and evolve as well.
