Space Research Program has International Affiliations

The National Space Biomedical Research Institute has three international affiliations in its program of developing strategies for long-duration space flight.

NSBRI has an agreement of affiliation with the Institute of Aerospace Medicine of the German Aerospace Center in Cologne, an agreement of cooperation with the Institute of Space Physiology and Medicine in Toulouse, France, and a framework agreement with the Politecnico di Milano in Italy.

The NSBRI projects are carried out in the home countries and supported by those countries.

Headquartered at Baylor College of Medicine, the NSBRI is a consortium of 12 research institutions seeking solutions to the various human health concerns associated with long-duration space exploration.

The three foreign affiliations are in addition to 41 U.S.-based research projects.
