HarmonEyes partners with TRISH to deploy H-SMART for astronauts

To Antarctica, the moon, and beyond... 🚀 We're proud to announce that we've been tapped by the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration-funded Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) to deploy the HarmonEyes Human State Monitoring and Readiness Tool (H-SMART) — a breakthrough eye-tracking solution system purpose-built to measure and predict astronauts’ cognitive load and fatigue before it becomes a behavioral safety risk in spaceflight. H-SMART will be deployed in late 2025 at the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic stations run by the Australian Antarctic Program as a proving ground for deep space missions. 👉 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/ejVPWWHM Walter Greenleaf, PhD Melissa Hunfalvay #NASA #TRISH #CognitiveLoad #Fatigue #Antarctica #BehavioralSafety #AstronautTraining #HSMART #EyeTracking #PredictiveAnalytics #AustralianAntarcticProgram

Excited to share that HarmonEyes is partnering with NASA’s Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) to bring our breakthrough eye-tracking technology to space! 🚀 This AI-powered system measures and predicts cognitive load and fatigue experienced by astronauts in real-time. Such an early warning and intervention system is critical to long-duration missions, where sustaining peak performance over months or years is mission-critical. #NASA #EyeTracking #PredictiveAnalytics #CognitiveLoad

🌟Bridging Innovation and Space History with JPL  As part of a collaboration with NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for the #EnVision mission led by the European Space Agency - ESA, Exens Solutions contributes to the design of a complex assembly for the onboard radar system. This device plays a key role in routing and combining signals intended to probe the surface of Venus with unprecedented precision. The project brings together the expertise of our teams across both sites - Les Ulis and Gradignan - where innovation and technological thoroughness are fully dedicated to space exploration. We had the pleasure to welcome a JPL delegation (Nacer Chahat & Kristoffer Bruvold) to our facilities. The visit provided opportunity to review project progress, to showcase our testing capabilities, and to strengthen ties around this international partnership. And as a funny anecdote… we shook hands with people who have shaken hands with astronauts who walked on the Moon. A beautiful human chain connecting us to space exploration legacy!   #SpaceExploration #EnVisionMission #AerospaceEngineering #JPL

🚀 NASA and Boeing Target June 1 for Starliner’s First Crewed Flight Test to the ISS 🌌 A new chapter in human spaceflight is about to begin. NASA and Boeing are officially targeting Saturday, June 1, for the launch of the CST-100 Starliner Crew Flight Test (CFT) - a milestone mission that will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station (ISS). This test flight is the final major certification milestone before Starliner becomes fully operational, joining SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in supporting NASA’s Commercial Crew Program - a partnership that defines the future of commercial space transportation. 🧭 Mission Highlights: 👨🚀 Crew: Butch Wilmore (Commander) & Suni Williams (Pilot) 🚀 Launch Vehicle: ULA Atlas V Rocket 🛰️ Destination: International Space Station (ISS) 🔭 Objective: Validate all systems - launch, docking, reentry, and landing - for long-duration missions 💡 Key Technical Focus: Teams have completed analysis on a small helium leak in Starliner’s service module - found to be stable and within safety margins. The review underscores NASA and Boeing’s unwavering commitment to crew safety and precision testing. “We are continuing to take a methodical approach to the Starliner-1 mission. The Crew Flight Test provides a wealth of data to verify system performance and prepare for future operational flights.” - Mark Nappi, Boeing Starliner Program Manager 🌠 Why This Mission Matters: The Crew Flight Test will mark the certification of Starliner, creating redundant U.S. access to the ISS - ensuring continuous research operations and enabling NASA to focus on deep-space exploration missions like Artemis and future journeys to Mars.

The competition for lunar exploration is heating up, and the advancements are reshaping the landscape of space travel. With SpaceX's Starship aiming for a crewed Moon landing as early as 2026, the industry is witnessing a significant shift toward reusability and cost-effectiveness. SpaceX's Starship is designed to be a fully reusable spacecraft, capable of carrying over 100 tonnes to low Earth orbit. This revolutionary approach drastically reduces the cost of space missions, with estimates suggesting flights could be as low as $2 to $4 million, compared to the billions associated with traditional systems like NASA's SLS. NASA's Artemis program is also making strides, with plans for crewed missions targeting the lunar South Pole. However, the reliance on single-use launch systems poses budgetary challenges and raises questions about long-term sustainability in space exploration. Meanwhile, China's CNSA is advancing rapidly with its Chang’e program, planning a crewed lunar base by 2029. This growth not only showcases China's technological capabilities but also introduces new dynamics in international space collaboration. The implications of these developments extend beyond national pride; they represent a new era of economic opportunity, technological innovation, and potential global cooperation in space exploration. #SpaceExploration #LunarRace #SpaceX #NASA #Innovation Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gGTB5pP3

NASA’s New Astronauts: WOMEN TAKE THE LEAD NASA introduces its newest astronaut candidate class, Group 24, a diverse group of 10 individuals selected from a pool of over 8,000 applicants. This class immediately makes history as the first in the agency's 60+ year history where women form the majority of the cohort, featuring six women and four men. The candidates begin nearly two years of intensive training, preparing for the complex operations required for missions to the International Space Station, the Moon as part of the Artemis program, and eventually, Mars. This new group embodies the next generation of American explorers, bringing operational expertise and scientific knowledge essential to advancing deep space exploration and cementing a long-term human presence beyond low Earth orbit. The selection marks a significant milestone in gender representation, confirming that in the evolving landscape of space exploration, women take the lead. https://lnkd.in/geujuXy2 #NASA #WomenInSpace #Artemis #Astronauts #DataViz #Infographic #VisualCapitalist #STEM #WomenInSTEM #SpaceExploration #Data #MakingHistory #MoonToMars #ChartOfTheDay #FutureIsFemale

The new antenna, as part of the Estrack network, will also serve ESA’s efforts towards international collaboration. As part of mutual cross-support arrangements with the agency’s partners, the new antenna can support other space agencies such as NASA, Japan’s JAXA, and India’s ISRO as well as commercial space missions, boosting science return and operational efficiency for all parties involved.
