    S3 EP6: Are Men and Women Affected Differently by Space? ESA Calls on the World's Citizen Scientists to find out!

    Astronauts endure a lot in space and as we prepare to send our first woman to the moon, its important to consider whether men and women respond differently to space and space radiation.  ESA’s Space Medicine Team is doing exactly that. Today, we chat with an intern in the team who is supporting the crowd-sourced systematic review of literature to see what we find regarding sex differences.  The team ESA Space Medicine team at large comprises of medical doctors, biomedical engineers, exercise physiologists, psychologists, IT specialists, education coordinators, administrators and project managers. Each plays a vital role in ensuring the health and well-being of astronauts during all stages of a mission. To better support astronauts during current missions to the International Space Station and prepare for human missions beyond low Earth orbit, the Space Medicine Team is working to identify, evaluate and develop new space technologies and procedures.

    S3 EP4: Balloon to the Moon with SpaceRyde

    What's a marriage if you don't start a rocket company together? Today we’re chatting with the co-founders of SpaceRyde, COO Saharnaz Safari and CEO Sohrab Haghighat. SpaceRyde is the first on-demand network of rockets with the ability to transport cargo from the Earth to the Moon, and everywhere in between. The innovation making this possible is a launch system that uses balloons to carry rockets beyond the earth's atmosphere before ignition takes place. Let's take a ryde with SpaceRyde!

    S3 EP1: A Spoonful of Stardust Helps Medicine Go...Up

    In this exciting episode we got a clinician's perspective on the cutting research in Space Medicine! Dr. Michael Gallagher is the President and CEO of Association of Spaceflight Professionals Inc., an organization developing early-stage human-in-the-loop space experiments and technologies.  He previously practiced family and dive medicine at the Canadian Forces Base in Esquimalt, British Columbia. He now practices Medicine in British Columbia and sometimes works with patients in rural communities in Alberta and Canada’s north. In April 2010, he completed a Canadian Space Agency-sponsored aerospace medicine elective at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.  He became a finalist for the Aerospace Medical Association’s Jeff Myers Young Investigator Award for preliminary investigations into lower body negative pressure as a possible countermeasure for bone loss in space. Feel free to reach out to Dr. Gallagher at michael.gallagher@spaceflightprofessionals.org.

    S2 EP6: 'Spaced' Out with Sach Grewal

    Human settlement in Space is no doubt an active area of research in the modern Space age. Settling in Space of course comes with several nuanced challenges that need cross-functional creative solutions. One area that is incredibly fascinating to explore is the design and architecture of those spaces. Today we've got on our podcast Sach Grewal, who is currently pursuing his Master of Architecture degree from Carleton University. As a budding architect, his interest lies in integrating creative design solutions with sustainability. Arguably, the coolest outcome of such projects and research is exploring applications in which a designer's creativity is challenged and they may need to come up with some 'out of the box' or rather 'out of the world' solutions. Today we explore a new aspect of Space on our podcast by chatting with Sach who can give us some insights into habitat design in Space and the challenges that come with it.
