Results from this project, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, could help boost our understanding of aging and its effects on disease mechanisms.

Key Points: 
  • Results from this project, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, could help boost our understanding of aging and its effects on disease mechanisms.
  • If successful, the powdered protein could help significantly reduce the mass of materials traveling to the space station, allowing more manufacturing at a lower cost.
  • The crew also continued work on a Boeing-sponsored investigation to test the effectiveness and durability of an innovative antimicrobial coating in space.
  • Findings will help advance heart disease modeling and could lead to the development of new therapies for patients on Earth.

BOSTON, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- XRHealth, the leading healthcare platform in Spatial computing, announces today that for the first time ever, a virtual reality headset will be sent to space to treat astronauts for mental health conditions during their next space mission targeted for launch on November 7th. XRHealth partnered with Nord-Space Aps and HTC VIVE to configure the VIVE Focus 3 headset to be compatible with the microgravity conditions of space.

Key Points: 
  • While on a space mission, astronauts live in isolation and in non-stimulating and highly stressful environments that could potentially lead to mental health conditions.
  • To address this, Nord-Space Aps created a virtual assistance mental balance initiative aimed to address astronauts' specific needs to maintain mental health while in orbit.
  • Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen will be the first astronaut in space to use the VR headset for preventative care during his 6-8 month mission with NASA Crew-7.
  • "Creating a virtual platform that addresses their mental health needs while in isolation is imperative for them to maintain a healthy lifestyle when they return.
