About the Human Research Program
The Human Research Program (HRP) was established in 2005 at Johnson Space Center in response to NASA’s refocus of the space program on exploration. The Agency’s human research investment was redirected to investigate and mitigate the highest risks to human health and performance in support of future exploration missions.
THE MISSION of NASA’s Human Research Program is to enable space exploration beyond low Earth orbit by reducing the risks to human health and performance through a focused program of basic, applied, and operational research that leads to the development and delivery of human health, performance, and habitability standards, countermeasures and risk mitigation solutions, and advanced habitability and medical support technologies. HRP performs research and technology development to support next-generation systems that enable humans to live and work safely and effectively in space.
The Human Research Program is comprised of five Elements: Research Operations & Integration (ROI), Space Radiation (SR), Human Health Countermeasures (HHC), Exploration Medical Capability (ExMC), and Human Factors and Behavioral Performance (HFBP). Each manages research and technology development tasks that are conducted by external and intramural NASA investigators. View more information on NASA’s Human Research Program at Johnson Space Center.

Human Research for Risk Reduction in Sustainable Human Exploration

HRP has adopted a phased approach to risk reduction as humans prepare to go to Mars.  These include the use of ground analogs to execute research and test hardware developed for use in space, opportunities to conduct research and technology demonstrations in low earth orbit, with the goal of utilizing lunar missions to increase earth independent operations.

Human Research Program STEPS TO MARS

How Glenn Research Center Supports HRP
NASA HRP leverages Glenn Research Center’s unique expertise in computational simulation, systems engineering, and microgravity fluid physics and combustion science. GRC’s HRP focus is not on the biology or human studies, but rather on adapting terrestrial medicine technology to the unique challenges of spaceflight. Our computational work quantifies both how the body will change due to varying gravity levels associated with spaceflight, as well as simulations to quantify human risk associated with those missions.
NASA’s HRP focuses on closing risks associated with exploration missions. GRC supports HRP by providing solutions to critical problems that place astronauts and their missions at risk. We focus on developing the technologies needed to close gaps in Exploration Medical Capabilities, Human Health Countermeasures, Space Radiation, and within the HRP Maturation and Integration Office. We use Computational Modeling as a primary tool for quantifying risk associated with human exploration missions, quantifying changes in the human body due to altered gravity and determining optimal clinic layout in vehicles and habitats.

	Why Go to Space?	

	The reasons to explore the universe are as vast and varied as the reasons to explore the forests, the mountains, or the sea. Since the dawn of humanity, people have explored to learn about the world around them, find new resources, and improve their existence.	

 

Why We Go to Space
At NASA, we explore the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all, creating new opportunities and inspiring the world through discovery.
NASA’s exploration vision is anchored in providing value for humanity by answering some of the most fundamental questions: Why are we here? How did it all begin? Are we all alone? What comes next? And, as an addendum to that: How can we make our lives better? 
NASA was created more than half a century ago to begin answering some of these questions. Since then, space exploration has been one of the most unifying, borderless human endeavors to date. An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the International Space Station, and two dozen countries have signed the Artemis Accords, signaling their commitment to shared values for long-term human exploration and research at the Moon. Through space exploration, we gain a new perspective to study Earth and the solar system. We advance new technologies that improve our daily lives, and we inspire a new generation of artists, thinkers, tinkerers, engineers, and scientists.

Benefits to Humanity
Human Research Program | Glenn Research Center | NASA
GRC supports HRP by providing solutions to critical problems that place astronauts and their missions at risk. We focus on developing the technologies needed to close gaps in Exploration Medical Capabilities, Human Health Countermeasures, Space Radiation, and within the HRP Maturation and Integration Office. We use Computational Modeling as a primary tool for quantifying risk associated with human exploration missions, quantifying changes in the human body due to altered gravity and determining optimal clinic layout in vehicles and habitats.
GRC has unique expertise in microgravity fluid physics, microgravity combustion science, microfluidics, sensors, diagnostics and imaging, computational simulation (deterministic and probabilistic), probabilistic risk assessment, machine learning and artificial intelligence, biomedical and biomechanical engineering models, communications and database architecture development, telescience center operations, human subject testing, and spaceflight experiment payload development, with over 150 payloads flown on sounding rockets, Spacelab, Spacehab, MIR, and ISS. Because of our specialized, multi-discipline bioengineering experience, HRP selected GRC to lead the crew health and performance probabilistic risk assessment project. Our subject matter experts also provide guidance to the program in implementing NASA STD 7009, the standard for models and simulations, and provide support for analyzing or improving the credibility of the results of computational models and simulations.

IVGEN flight hardware on International Space Station

GRC’s role in the Human Research Program also extends to several hardware development projects, some of which have been, or are planned to be, demonstrated on the International Space Station. These projects include the Intravenous Fluid Generation to produce fluid for intravenous use, Exploration Lab Analysis which evaluates commercially available compact devices to perform medical analytics (examples include the HemoCue and rHEALTH ONE blood analyzer devices), Medical Consumables Tracking to track the usage of consumables used for medical treatment, a Flexible Ultrasound System for conducting a variety of ultrasound scans, and commercially available multi-functional integrated medical devices (examples include the LifeBot and Phillips Tempus devices).  The Human Research Program partners with the Mars Campaign Office’s exploration medical integrated product team on several of these commercial medical devices.

Destinations
NASA is taking a steppingstone approach to human exploration in space. Building on NASA’s 60 years of exploration experience and more than 20 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station in low Earth orbit, we will extend humanity farther into space than ever before. The International Space Station has built the foundation to conduct complex operations in space, perform research in a microgravity environment, foster a growing space economy, and forge international partnerships toward a common goal. Artemis missions will establish our long-term presence at the Moon as astronauts explore more of the lunar surface than ever before to learn about the origins of the solar system and prepare for humanity’s next giant leap: human missions to Mars.

Quick Facts

The space station has been continuously occupied since November 2000.

 

Missions to the Moon are about 1,000 times farther from Earth than missions to the International Space Station.

 

Thanks to nearly 20 years of continuous human habitation on the space station, future life support systems for Mars can be designed with a 36% reduction in mass.

 

An international partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries operates the International Space Station.

<p>The commitments undertaken under the Artemis Accords, and the significant efforts by the signatories to advance implementation of these principles, are essential to the success of the Artemis campaign for NASA and its partners, as well as for the success of the safe and sustainable exploration activities of the other Accords signatories.</p>

<p>As the Artemis Accords workshop concluded May 23, participants reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the principles outlined in the Artemis Accords and to continue working collaboratively. The first workshop was hosted by Poland in 2023. Additional countries are expected to sign the Artemis Accords in the weeks and months ahead. Signatory principals will gather again for face-to-face discussions on the margins of the International Astronautical Congress in October.</p>

<p>The United States and seven other nations were the first to sign the Artemis Accords in 2020, which identified an early set of principles that promote the beneficial use of space for all humanity, grounded in the Outer Space Treaty and other agreements including the Registration Convention, the Rescue and Return Agreement, as well as best practices and norms of responsible behavior that NASA and its partners have supported, including the public release of scientific data.</p>
