From Apollo to Artemis: Epidemiology of astronaut health through 60 years of human spaceflight

Artemis II (https://www.nasa.gov/mission/artemis-ii/launch), the first mission sending humans back to orbit the moon since the 60s, is planned to occur in February 2026.  The panelists will discuss how we use epidemiology and the data we have collected during the past 60 years of human spaceflight to understand effects of spaceflight exposures and the challenges with our unique, niche, small population.
