The Free Flight Physiology Project Team in Karakorum, Pakistan is using Hexoskin to monitor their vitals when they fly over the countryside. Dr Matt Wilkes and this team from the Centre for Altitude, Space and Extreme Environment Medicine from the Institute of Sport Exercise & Heath (London, UK) are getting their gear ready for the Red Bull paragliding team later this year, but also to conduct serious research on physiology in altitude. They also took amazing pictures and video of their experience!
Here's more information about their project:
From space walk to catwalk? It was a lot of fun to be part of the FashionWare Show at CES Asia this week in Shanghai, China. Technology is getting better each year and smart clothing designers now have better tools to design functional and fashionable items.
You can easily tell that this year's FashionWare Show displayed the most mature technology yet, and the best looking designs ever shown at the Consumer Electronics Show. Congrats!
Hexoskin is taking a new step in space medicine this week at the Johnson Space Center in Houston (Texas). Our team was on site to help the HERA X crew setup their Astroskin systems. The HERA missions are designed to simulate long-term space missions and to prepare the future expeditions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
According to NASA:
"The Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA), formerly known as the Deep Space Habitat, was transferred from the JSC Engineering Directorate to HRP in FY2013. This unique modular three-story habitat was designed and created through a series of university competitions and was previously used in the Desert Research and Technology Studies in the Arizona desert.
The HERA will provide a high-fidelity research venue for scientists to use in addressing risks and gaps associated with human performance during spaceflight. Historically, the habitat was used for exploration engineering systems demonstrations. In its new role, the HERA will serve as an analog for simulation of isolation, confinement, and remote conditions of mission exploration scenarios.
Studies suitable for this analog may include behavioral health and performance assessments, communication and autonomy studies, human factors evaluations, and exploration medical capabilities assessments and operations."
Hexoskin's space medicine team is working with the Canadian Space Agency since 2011 on remote medical monitoring systems for long-term space missions and space exploration.
You can find more pictures of the HERA module and the mission on the HERA Crew X Twitter account.
