NASA Expands Collaboration with Commercial Partners on Space Station Medical Protocols
==========

NASA is collaborating with commercial partners to develop new commercial space stations and make space more accessible. The lack of established industry standards and government regulations for managing the health and safety of non-professional astronauts in orbit is a concern. NASA is sharing its medical best practices with commercial spaceflight entities to lay a foundation for hosting future NASA missions. Major aerospace companies such as Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Sierra Space, SpaceX, Vast, and Voyager Space are engaged in collaborative agreements with NASA for space station development. The collaboration covers medical evaluations, astronaut selection, training protocols, and post-mission care. Thorough preparation and post-flight reconditioning programs are crucial for the success of individuals and missions. NASA's collaborations are also important in preparing for the eventual decommissioning of the existing space station and supporting the infrastructure development needed for a thriving commercial spaceflight market.
