- Abstract
BACKGROUND: The emerging commercial spaceflight industry has several companies all building an assortment of spaceflight vehicles, space stations, and habitats each with different levels of health care and capabilities to provide the spaceflight participants (SFP) a pleasurable spaceflight experience. The Human and Environmental Research Matrix for Exploration of Space (HERMES) project aims to standardize and manage the biomedical and environmental data needed to maintain the human health and performance of SFP as they venture through their spaceflight journey. OVERVIEW: HERMES is a semi-autonomous, vehicle agnostic, data management infrastructure with capability to 1) seamlessly aggregate spaceflight related biomedical, research, operational, and environmental data, 2) store said data in an efficient manner that allows for 3) access and distribution of the data to human users, to algorithmic (AI/ML) users, and to downstream spacecraft that also have HERMES infrastructure. This project addresses a commercial spaceflight landscape where space vehicles and destinations are built and operated by various commercial entities making it challenging to establish a standardized way for data to be aggregated, stored, and distributed. DISCUSSION: HERMES allows for a paradigm shift in how medical, research, and environmental data is managed across disparate space vehicles and destinations. SFP health status, research, and environmental exposure data collection, storage, and distribution are standardized making the infrastructure flexible enough to be ubiquitously deployed regardless of the spacecraft, biomedical data sources, and data analysis users. This enables a novel data management model where a SFP's data can follow the SFP as they continue their spaceflight journey allowing subsequent spaceflight operators insight into the SFP's health, performance, and exposure history. HERMES can support any organization that operates multiple non-standardized transportation vehicles and remote destinations such as NASA's Artemis Program and the military where collection, storage, and analysis of their personnel's data is critical to maintenance of health and performance. This research is supported by the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), funded under NASA Cooperative Agreement NNX16AO69A. Learning Objectives 1. The audience will learn about the challenges in collecting biomedical, operational, and environmental data on commercial spaceflight missions. 2. The audience will learn about common and novel data management approaches that can be applied to human health and performance on commercial spaceflight missions.
