“Science accelerators are a great way to spur innovation and technical advancement. That's why NASA's so interested in science accelerators focused on space health--as the commercial space sector expands, more people from all walks of life will be going into space. So we're really looking for ideas that will push clinical care in space forward to meet the needs of a larger astronaut pool.”

“The Humans in Space Challenge is opening eyes across the space industry to a new future of healthcare enabled by microgravity. The decrease in launch costs and increase in ease of access are transforming the way people and organizations see outer space. There is huge potential as new business models and technologies suddenly become feasible, and we are only just starting to see the impact. The healthcare sector has leaned into this trend, and we are excited to support the best leaders and technologies, including those assembled for this cohort, that will benefit life on Earth. It’s been a pleasure working with Boryung on this important strategic endeavor and we look forward to growing and expanding the program.”

“We are thrilled to join forces with Boryung in their ambitious Humans in Space program. This research collaboration marks a significant milestone in our journey to the stars, bridging the gap between GEO and cislunar space, and underscores our commitment to advancing human's presence beyond Earth's orbit. Our Scout and Ranger spacecraft are tailored-made to enable cell life cycle research in deep space's radiation environment. Together, we are committed to improving the safety for humanity's journeys in space.”

“Space healthcare represents a critical leap forward for the space industry. In order to accelerate growth in this field, engagement of innovative companies and entrepreneurs is pivotal. We are excited to be partnering with Humans In Space to explore these innovative ideas, connect them to industry leaders, and help them grow.”

“The HIS initiative empowers innovative healthcare startups to commercialize medical breakthroughs that improve human health on and off Earth and drive space-related investments.”

“Participation in the 2023 Humans in Space event was great exposure for LambdaVision. The coaching and mentorship from the HIS team helped us to better refine our pitch and business strategy for space.”

“One major benefit of participating in programs like HIS is the people and companies that you meet. Participation in HIS expanded our network of investors and space industry experts. We also had the opportunity to meet other companies and academic groups doing incredibly exciting research that will have a significant impact on building a thriving low earth orbit economy.”

“Our research is high-risk but high-reward, making it difficult to secure funds from traditional fund sources. The HIS support was essential for us to get started. Plus, the HIS team is very enthusiastic and have created a great network of stakeholders from both academic and private companies. My experience participating on the HIS Challenge was very positive, I am glad I had the opportunity to present our project to such a vast and different group of experts.”
