Artemis II: Scientific research during the mission

During their mission to the Moon, the Artemis II astronauts will serve as both scientists and research subjects, participating in five studies that explore how deep-space travel affects the human body, mind and behaviour. These experiments are essential for keeping astronauts healthy on longer missions and for developing technologies, protocols and preventive measures. 1. ARCHeR (Artemis Research for Crew Health and Readiness) ARCHeR is a cutting-edge study that monitors astronauts' sleep patterns, stress levels, cognitive performance, and teamwork dynamics using wearable wristbands. These devices collect real-time physiological and behavioral data, helping researchers understand how isolation, confinement, and the unique environment...
