NASA Prepares for Space Exploration in Undersea Lab
NASA will send three astronauts and a Cincinnati doctor under the ocean this month to test space medicine concepts and moon-walking techniques.
Canadian astronaut Dave Williams will lead an 18-day undersea mission April 3 to 20 aboard the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aquarius Underwater Laboratory off the Florida coast. NASA astronauts Nicole Stott and Ron Garan and Dr. Tim Broderick of the University of Cincinnati round out the crew. Jim Buckley and Ross Hein of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington will provide engineering support.
During the mission, called the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) project, remote health care procedures will be tested on a patient simulator. New long-distance medical care procedures, such as telemonitoring and telerobotic surgery, may help maintain the health of spacefarers. The techniques simulated in Aquarius may one day be used to respond to emergencies on the International Space Station, the moon or Mars.
