Health in Space: Daring to Explore
How do we keep astronauts healthy in space? How does this unique environment affect the human body? What's in it for us back on Earth?
To find out the answers to those questions, register to host Health in Space: Daring to Explore, a travelling exhibition that will allow visitors to:
- find out the effects of space on astronauts' bodies and how they train to be prepared for this unique environment;
- understand how research done in space improves the lives of people on Earth by advancing knowledge and innovation;
- learn more about Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut David Saint-Jacques' mission and the health-related science experiments conducted by him aboard the International Space Station.
