83% Informative

SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission is the first private private spacewalk of a private mission.

The mission will be studied by Baylor College of Medicine , with the astronauts giving blood and going through extensive biomedical testing both before and after the flight.

It's an opportunity to see what kind of radiation exposure that we get as they get further and further away from the surface of the Earth .

TRISH is setting up a database that will collect biomedical data from both Polaris Dawn and future commercial space missions.

The aim is to collect data from a wider range of people, not just highly trained, young astronauts with no medical conditions.

Future commercial missions could help widen the pool of data on human health in space.

One experiment is testing out a miniaturized ultrasound scanner that the crew can use to scan themselves.
