Can medical technology aid us? \nTime: 11:30-14:00 BST/12:30-15:00 CEDT/6.30am-9am EDT \nAbout this Event \nThe last time humankind flew beyond lower Earth orbit and to the Moon was during the Apollo 17 mission\, in 1972. Since then\, as a species we have not returned to the Moon\, despite multi-national interests in setting up lunar bases. NASA’s Artemis programme aims to put “the first woman and the next man” on the Moon by as early as 2024\, with the aim of establishing a presence on the Moon\, and using it as a way of eventually putting humans on Mars. Yet\, the implications of an extended stay on the Moon on human health are yet to be explored in great detail. How would flying and setting up for months or even years at a time effect human physiology and psychology? What risks does this next step in human space exploration pose to our bodies\, and are the risks worth it? \nThis UK Space LABS/SGAC webinar event aims to explore these questions and also provide the opportunity for your questions to be answered by a variety of experts in the field\, who each have experience in space related research\, and will offer fascinating talks on a range of topics\, from remote monitoring of astronaut health\, to the psychology of coping in extreme environments. \n\nDr Jo Bower – Jo is a Lecturer in psychology at University of East Anglia. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Houston\, on a NASA funded project investigating risk and resilience of people in isolated and extreme environments. She will be presenting data on emotional and physical symptoms of being in isolated and extreme environments\, including a recent Antarctic winterover study\, which was used as an analogue for long duration space exploration.\nDr Floris Wuyst – Floris is Professor at the University of Antwerp and recently worked with Russian cosmonauts to publish a paper on the effects of spaceflight on functional brain connectivity.\nLauren Church – Lauren is an MSc student studying Space Physiology and Health at King’s College London. As part of the research collective “Paraboladies”\, Lauren has completed research on the pre-flight medical checks required for commercial suborbital spaceflight\, with an accepted abstract for AsMA 2020 on this subject. She will share her insights in how remote monitoring of astronaut health can facilitate a return to the Moon\, as well as long term habituation of the Moon.\nProfessor Simon Evetts: Simon is the Managing Director of SeaSpace Research Ltd\, the R&D arm of Blue Abyss\, and the R&D Director of Blue Abyss. Simon is a Visiting Senior Lecturer at King’s College London\, a Visiting Professor at Northumbria University\, and co-founder of the UK Space Life & Biomedical Sciences Association. Simon will talk about Prof Walter Kuehnegger\, one of the Apollo Program’s Principal Investigators and how his research enable humanity to explore the Moon.\nBjorn Baselt: Bjorn from SCK CEN in Belgium is our last speaker\, and he will be talking about ‘Models for space studies in biology: from cells to animals to humans”.\n\nUK Space LABS: The UK Space Life and Biomedical Sciences Association is an organisation which aims to communication\, cooperation and collaboration between UK based organisations and individuals involved or interested in research\, healthcare\, outreach and educational activities related to space life and biomedical sciences and the human element of human spaceflight. The organisation aims to advance the research and conduct of space life and biomedical sciences in the UK\, benefit terrestrial healthcare\, and prepare the UK to effectively participate in future human spaceflight activities.

What are some of the key areas that would necessitate or benefit from international collaboration? What learning\, policies\, or other mechanisms for positive collaboration from the ISS should we bring to future exploration? What are the core policies in place today that are either facilitating or preventing effective collaboration\, are they appropriate\, and what are your recommendations on how they should change if at all? What cultural challenges must we address to enable future long term habitation and colonization of space? \nNext Generation Space Research:\nISS and beyond – what’s the next technology leap that will affect the future of space research? What are the key changes or developments needed to get there? Do any current national or international policies need to be adapted? In addition\, as we extend our research to future orbital platforms (lunar and earth orbiting)\, are there new opportunities and technologies to leverage that the ISS does not offer? \nHumans In Space:\nAs we begin to not only send more people to space\, but have them stay for longer periods of time\, what are the challenges we still have to face? Companies are beginning to offer astronaut experiences for short term stays in space. What responsibility do those commercial entities have to the well-being of their customers\, and what kinds of processes and policies need to be put in space to protect both sides? \nEntrepreneurship and Investment:\nWhat are the main qualities of a company that investors look for in a company? Where are the newest companies coming from (universities\, government spin offs\, former specialized employees\, etc)? What have the current trends been in space investment\, and how do current VCs discover and develop their portfolios in the space field? What are key areas that are ripe for investment in the space economy? What kinds of orbital applications could become investment opportunities in the long term (assuming human or technologically developed presence in earth or cis-lunar orbit)? \nAdvancing Towards the Moon:\n50 years ago\, humanity’s first steps were taken on the moon. This track commemorates the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11\, and looks to the future of the lunar endeavors. What would a framework of a collaborative\, sustainable\, and innovative future for Earth’s moon look like? What should our lunar priorities be? With increasingly complex exploration programs on the horizon (Moon\, Mars\, Europa\, DSG\, etc)\, what are some of the upcoming challenges that they will face? \n\n\nOrganizing TeamAlyssa Deardorff (alyssa.deardorff@spacegeneration.org) URL:https://spacegeneration.org/event/sgac-aas-issrd2019 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Katmandu:20190719T093000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Katmandu:20190719T170000 DTSTAMP:20191007T142534Z CREATED:20190613T071444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191007T142534Z UID:27767-1563528600-1563555600@spacegeneration.org SUMMARY:SG[Nepal] 2019 DESCRIPTION:SG[Nepal]Following the launch of Nepal’s first satellite in April 2019\, NepaliSat-1\, Nepal has officially entered the space age.
