T0094-P Monitoring tissue oxygen saturation in microgravity

Program start date is on hold until Space Act Agreement is signed.  Placeholder date of January 2014 is used as placeholder.

Evidence suggests that oxygen levels may be lowered in the body's tissues during spaceflight and may accelerate bone decay.  This experiment would assess successful operation of the technology with data capture during microgravity.  The team would assess ease of use and identify possible risks in the environment.  This can potentially be used for NASA and other space agencies, commerical spaceflight providers and participants; patients on Earth.
