The Australian National University will lead an iLAuNCH Project, in partnership with Saber Astronautics, Aspen Medical, and Liquid Instruments, that will apply Australian remote healthcare technology to human spaceflight.
“I applaud Aspen Medical for making the leap into the demanding environment of space, and showcasing how space technology can help us here on Earth. It's a great project led by the Australian National University, partnering with industry leaders including Saber Astronautics, Aspen Medical, and Liquid Instruments,” said iLAuNCH Trailblazer Executive Director, Darin Lovett.
ANU is partnering with an Australian innovator and manufacturer of field programmable gate array (FPGA) test equipment, Liquid Instruments, to develop and space qualify an integrated sensing-analysis-communication tool, alongside Saber Astronautics who will ensure its seamless communication.
Saber Astronautics will also provide rideshare services for the tool on microgravity test flights andensure safe integration of data streams into mission control, via the Responsive Space Operations Centre (RSOC).
Apen Medical, meanwhile, will bring their significant experience in health response from around the globe to the Australian space industry as part of the project.
