During an event at NASA Headquarters in Washington Thursday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra united to note progress their respective agencies are making in space and on Earth toward President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden’s Cancer Moonshot initiative.
Also participating in the event was Dr. W. Kimryn Rathmell, director of the National Cancer Institute, as well as NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Frank Rubio, both of whom each recently served extended science missions 250 miles off Earth aboard the International Space Station where they conducted cancer-related research.
Studying the health of our oceans and climate, a private astronaut crew heads home from the space station, and some mission milestones for our Lucy spacecraft … a few of the stories to tell you about – This Week at NASA!
Join us for a virtual Black History Month event with astronauts Stephanie Wilson, Jessica Watkins, Jeanette Epps, and Victor Glover as they discuss Black health and wellness in the context of space exploration.
The astronauts will join NASA’s Dr. Andrea Fore, Dr. Olga Emgushova and Dr. Sophia Sills-Tailor to talk about building a stronger community with better health. Gregory Robinson, James Webb Space Telescope program director, will deliver opening remarks.
The program is presented by the Agency African American Employee Resource Group Collaboration Team.
Managing the health of astronauts orbiting Earth at 28 000 km/h is a challenge, but how will we equip astronauts to stay healthy and deal with any medical emergencies during missions to the Moon or Mars?
Our flight surgeon Sergi Vaquer Araujo discusses how space medicine experts instill astronauts with the skills and knowledge needed to stay healthy on the International Space Station today, as we investigate new technologies that could benefit people on Earth.
The United Nations World Health Organization marks World Health Day on 7 April every year. The third Sustainable Development Goal underlines the right to health:Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. On-orbit research, space technology and space applications can help improve health on Earth by monitoring our environment, helping track disease, improving diagnostics, and working on new medicines among other things. The UN is also focusing particularly this year on universal health coverage.

We are Europe’s gateway to space. Our mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. Check out http://www.esa.int/ESA to get up to speed on everything space related.
By cultivating human endothelial cells in space, researchers are gaining knowledge about the way our blood vessels function. This could help prevent and treat diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and thrombosis here on Earth, while keeping astronauts healthy in space.
In this video, biochemist and molecular biologist Dr Markus Wehland discusses the Spheroids experiment, which ran on the International Space Station during ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s Principia mission in 2016.
Cells cultivated in microgravity during this experiment assembled into globular and tubular structures. These structures were similar to the inner lining of blood vessels inside our bodies, but had never been achieved before by scientists cultivating cells on Earth.
Knowledge about cell growth and structure gained through this study could aid the development of tissue engineering techniques to replace damaged blood vessels in patients. It could also improve the efficiency and safety of drugs that help regulate vessel development.
It is good news for those affected by cardiovascular disease and a great example of the way in which research in microgravity is enhancing life on Earth.

Motivated by the urge to help one of his own, Senthil kumar a man of great intellect took it upon
himself to find the solution to a problem that stared right at the face of mankind.
Senthil Kumar M hailing from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India, has a great passion for innovating
through technology to solve real-life problems.
His vision is to build technology-enabled self-sustaining communities. He actively engages in
community empowerment and education initiatives especially among girls through
‘MetooMentor’ – an NPO that mentors young women to innovate through technology.
The ingenious device developed by him monitors and tracks the vitals of pregnant women living
in the remote villages of India, transmitting the collected data over the cloud to the nearest health
center by incorporating AI and DEEP LEARNING algorithms.
Watch him speaking about the experiences and challenges he encountered throughout his
journey!! Senthil Kumar M hailing from Madurai has a great passion for innovating through technology to solve real-life problems. He worked in fields like a wireless network, defence, maternal healthcare, and safety solutions and filed nearly 10 patents for the same. He began his career as an engineer in – Samsung | Qualcomm, but he quit his job to found two tech startups, GeoMeo and JioVio, in urban infrastructure and healthcare sector respectively. His vision is to build technology-enabled self-sustaining communities. He believes that we can achieve this only by bridging the digital divide in the society and by empowering the powerless/vulnerable.He actively engages in community empowerment and education initiatives especially among girls through ‘MetooMentor’ – an NPO that mentors young women to innovate through technology.With a handful of dedicated volunteers, He reached over 1000 girls in Madurai.He has been honoured as the top 5 Technology Explorers in India by Nasscom. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
