However, NASA does not anticipate any need to call for study volunteers in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HRP-sponsored studies will use strict head-down tilt bed rest as an analog for some of the physiological adaptations experienced by astronauts during spaceflight. The research aims to better understand and evaluate countermeasures for the risks associated with long-duration spaceflight missions including the International Space Station, Artemis and Gateway programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMajor research themes for this year are how crews perform when operating autonomously from Mission Control as well as other Earth-based support and the effectiveness of different advanced systems for supporting these types of autonomous operations,\u201d said Brandon Vessey, the element scientist for research operations and integration within HRP. \u201cResults from these studies will help to inform how NASA plans for future exploration missions when astronaut crews will need to operate more independently from Earth than they do in current International Space Station missions in low-Earth orbit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The indefinite-delivery\/indefinite-quantity contract with firm, fixed-price task orders, begins Nov. 23, 2021, and extends through Dec. 31, 2025, with no phase-in period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA has selected Deutsches Zentrum fur
