Space medicine taps conflict‑zone humanitarian care for human spaceflight

Space medicine research is increasingly integrating lessons from humanitarian medicine and conflict epidemiology to advance care for human spaceflight. Techniques developed for resource‑constrained, high‑risk environments are being adapted to support emergency response, infection control and autonomous medical decision‑making on long‑duration missions.

Artemis II crew named: three Americans and Canada’s Jenni Gibbons for first crewed lunar flyby in 50+ years NASA announced the four-person Artemis II crew — three Americans and Canadian astronaut Jenni Gibbons — who will fly the agency’s first crewed lunar mission in more than 50 years. The flight will validate Orion systems and operational procedures and showcase a more diverse, modern astronaut corps than Apollo-era teams.

NASA sending neutron detector to sniff lunar south pole ice up to 3 ft deep NASA is deploying an instrument that uses neutrons — the behaviour of subatomic particles — to locate usable water ice near the Moon’s south pole without drilling. The detector can sense buried ice deposits up to three feet underground, a capability tied to plans for a lasting lunar presence.
