Exploring Research Opportunities in Human Health and Performance in Space
This session is part of an ongoing collaboration with Starlab, with future events planned to explore specific research areas in greater depth.
This meeting will provide an overview of the first-of-its-kind university research park dedicated to commercial spaceflight research and economic development. Attendees will gain insights into the Starlab Space Station, its strategic partners, and the joint venture driving this groundbreaking initiative. This session will also highlight funding opportunities for researchers from a wide range of disciplines — including those with expertise in human health and performance — who are interested in contributing to this evolving area of exploration.
