Grant Activity:
Spacesuits for Preserving Human Health and Mobility
Purpose:
The project will develop and refine three different compression spacesuits, including our Skinsuit deployed twice on the International Space Station. The spacesuits will:
1) help mitigate bone loss and other health side effects of weightlessness by imposing earth-like loading;
2) enable greater mobility and safety for spacewalking compared to traditional gas-pressurised spacesuits; and
3) prevent issues with blood flow and fainting as astronauts return to Earth.
The goal is to establish Australia as an internationally recognised hub for space-related compression garments, and translate that technology for Earth-based medical applications such as for burns, sports, lymphoedema, osteoporosis and cerebral palsy. The project will be conducted with extensive international collaboration, including NASA and the European Space Agency.
