ESA’s Exploration Science Programme: Advancing Knowledge, Inspiring Innovation 

DESCRIPTION OF THIS OPPORTUNITY  To ensure crew safety for long-duration missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO), we need to further characterise, monitor, and address the physiological challenges identified in LEO research programmes as we aim for more remote destinations. These goals could benefit from the use of advanced models that better mimic human physiology, and supplements or replaces any animal experimentation. As such, tissue chip or organoid models may provide this technological breakthrough. These models are revolutionising the medicine and pharmacology fields, by providing more accurate human tissue analogues for drug testing and disease modelling. Organoids have been instrumental in...
