Uplift Aerospace, based in Park City, Utah, has partnered with Utah State University to conduct research on prepping the human body for the effects of spaceflight, starting with the inner ear. The research, focused on vestibular habituation, aims to reduce space motion sickness and improve astronaut performance in space tourism and commercial missions. Unlike most studies that rely on ground-based analogs, this research will involve experiments conducted on a suborbital flight to collect real-time physiological data in microgravity. Through this partnership, Uplift Aerospace aims to create new pathways for space health and human performance, with potential applications in long-duration missions and commercial spaceflight. CEO Josh Hanes sees the research as an opportunity to make space travel more accessible and comfortable for a wider range of people. The company’s innovative approach to space exploration and education, including astronaut training programs and community-driven initiatives, exemplifies its mission to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals and make space more accessible to all.
