91³Ô¹ÏÍø

Emmanuel Urquieta and Jennifer Fogarty receive the distinction for their contributions in the field of space travel.

Sierra Space has donated a life-sized cargo module that will serve as an immersive classroom, research center and a visual testament to 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s emerging aerospace medicine program.

As astronauts travel closer to the moon than any human has in more than 50 years, physicians and scientists will learn more about how space travel affects physical and mental health.

With 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Space Week taking place Nov. 3-7, America’s Space University is expanding its research, clinical, and education efforts to keeping the galaxy’s travelers healthy and bringing those medical technologies back to patients on Earth.

As space travel advances, missions such as Fram2 provide space medicine experts like  Emmanuel Urquieta of the College of Medicine with opportunities to study its effects on human health.

The partnership will include a new aerospace medical skills lab developed at the 91³Ô¹ÏÍø College of Medicine and collaborations to create new technology advancing healthcare in space.

When humans embark on spaceflights, our health will depend on medical experts with unique skillsets — experts like Emmanuel Urquieta and the students trained in 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s new aerospace medicine program.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø is advancing cutting-edge space research while offering unique opportunities for students to launch their careers in the space industry.
