Medical Risk Assessment

Quantifying risks associated with long duration exploration missions is essential to minimize negative impacts such as Loss of Crew Life, Evacuation and ...

Musculoskeletal Modeling

In spite of advances made in using resistive exercise to preserve bone and muscle in the hip, lumbar spine, and thigh regions, astronauts still suffer from ...

Today, scientific computing is vital to NASA’s research programs. It is used to help solve research problems that cannot be solved through experimental approaches that have safety hazards, and are time consuming or expensive. NASA GRC uses computational modeling in the HRP to assist in the understanding of many conditions and potential outcomes of human research in long duration, microgravity environments.
