Mission-Ready Medicine for the Future of Spaceflight
The Next Frontier in Healthcare
Human spaceflight is entering a new era — and the medical infrastructure needed to support it is struggling to keep pace. Government agencies, private companies, and research institutions are accelerating missions beyond low-Earth orbit, building stations, lunar habitats, and long-duration programs. Each mission introduces a non-negotiable need for continuous, reliable, and specialized healthcare.
OrbitalMed exists to protect human health across microgravity environments — and to return those benefits home.
The Missing Infrastructure Behind
Commercial Spaceflight
The current healthcare systems built for the astronaut corps were never designed for today’s mission volume and commercial scale. They do not support the new diversity of crew health and medical conditions. The care provided by legacy government programs and private consultants is fragmented. And none of them share common standards. OrbitalMed exists to close that gap in on-orbit medicine and training.
A New Market Is Launching.
Healthcare must launch with it.
The commercial space economy is creating an entirely new category of healthcare demand. From pre-flight screening and medical certification to in-flight oversight and post-mission care, OrbitalMed is positioned at the intersection of aerospace medicine, human performance, and the future of human spaceflight.
Our Solution
OrbitalMed was founded by former NASA astronaut physicians, flight surgeons, and aerospace industry leaders to provide government and commercial space travelers with the medical oversight needed for safe and successful missions. These leaders have leveraged their medical training and spaceflight experience to deliver specialized medical expertise that enhances safety and the on-orbit experience.
OrbitalMed guides prospective space travelers through a streamlined yet thorough health assessment process leading to medical certification for spaceflight. In a new era of space travel, we provide continuity of care before, during, and after the flight.
