nastar suborbital scientist training program
The NASTAR Suborbital Scientist Training Program provides space flight physiology training for prospective “Suborbital Scientist-Astronauts” wishing to fly experiments on upcoming suborbital space missions. The course includes an overview of the commercial space research industry and provides both altitude and space flight training to handle the physiological and psychological rigors of spaceflight.
commercial suborbital scientist space research
The coming era of commercial suborbital space flights will soon provide low-cost, frequent space access for projects and people to altitudes of 70-140 km with 3-5 minutes of microgravity. The NASTAR Suborbital Scientist Training aids in understanding how to take advantage of these new “human-in-the-loop” Research & Education Mission (REM) opportunities, and offers both you and your organization a strong competitive advantage in the suborbital science research arena.
