Development of an Emergency Medical Services Plan for Commercial Spaceflight Events in Spaceport America
INTRODUCTION: Commercial spaceflight is a developing industry. Spaceport America, NM, is the world’s first dedicated commercial spaceport and will be the site of the first suborbital passenger flights in the next few years. Located in a remote area in New Mexico far from major hospitals and trauma …

The Development of an Emergency Response Plan for Medical Contingencies during Commercial Spaceflight at the Houston Spaceport
Commercial spaceflight has grown increasingly prominent over the last decade. Yet despite the obvious successes, commercial spaceflight is still in its relative infancy, and mishaps in the industry may be enough to lose the trust of consumers and shut down the market altogether. This is especially …

A Systematic Review of the Psychological Effects of Heat Stress on Subjects in Uncooled, Sealed, Environment Suits
… these effects would occur. Recent growth in the commercial spaceflight industry has led to renewed interest in environment suits to protect against decompression events. Such suits impair the body’s thermoregulatory mechanisms leading to heat stress.22 Because of this, space suits incorporate …
