Human Research Program

NASA’s Human Research Program studies how spaceflight affects astronaut health and performance and develops ways to reduce those risks. Its research addresses five interacting hazards: radiation, isolation and confinement, distance from Earth, altered gravity, and hostile or closed environments. Laboratories, ground analogs and spaceflight studies help assess human performance and protective measures.
