Mission
Mission
The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight is concerned with creating a safe and healthy environment for civilians to live and work in space.
Vision
Our vision is to foster a collaborative ecosystem where partners join forces to advance space exploration and habitation. Together, we focus on critical areas such as space health monitoring, biorepository research, risk assessment, and leveraging AI for predictive modeling. We prioritize precision medicine, uphold ethical standards through our IRB (institutional review board), and empower physicians with continuing education. With a commitment to civilian training and developing effective countermeasures, we bridge space and Earth through our terrestrial applications program. Through meticulous preparation and a focus on food, nutrition, and metabolism, we pave the way for safe and sustainable human presence beyond our planet.
Purpose
The Human Research Program for Civilian Spaceflight (HRP-C) is a pioneering initiative aimed at advancing human capabilities in commercial spaceflight. Leveraging the expertise of leading professionals in space research and medical sciences, the HRP-C is dedicated to conducting comprehensive research to address the unique health, safety, and performance challenges faced by civilian space travelers. Through collaboration with key stakeholders, including human spaceflight participants, spaceflight providers, scientific and medical research communities, and government and private funding enterprises, the HRP-C aims to optimize the well-being and success of individuals venturing into space.
