The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight
Probing Deeply to Enable the Thriving of Humans in Space
About Us
What is the HRP-C™?
The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight (HRP-C) is the foundational program to address the health, safety, and performance of civilian space travelers in the commercial space sector. Various government organizations such as NASA, JAXA, ESA, ASI, CSA, Roscosmos, and others have foundational human research programs addressing the needs of professional astronauts engaged in exploration missions. However, to date, there has been no dedicated effort with sufficient scope to address the widespread needs of civilian space travelers. The HRP-C has been established to fill this gap.
