:Envihab: Facing intriguing challenges of human spaceflight and inspiring future challenges of medicine on earth – the brand-new research facility of the DLR1 Institute of Aerospace Medicine of the German Aerospace Center in Cologne, Germany
Keywords:
space medicine, ground based research facility, human centrifuge, , envihab.Abstract
As a new modularly designed research facility for medical research, :envihab’s purpose is to study under strictly standardized conditions the complex problems presented by a closed life-support system (:envihab = environmental habitat) and the interactions between humans and the environment and possible countermeasures. The main goal of :envihab is to contribute through hypothesis-driven research, to scientific insight and technological progress so as to provide solutions to the most important key issues for life on Earth. It will deliver industry-relevant results of scientific progress together with its economic advantages, and will encourage public debate about important future-oriented questions regarding human life. The collected data can then be used as a starting point for future modeling tasks that will be required in all areas of medicine in the future.

Envihab: Enfrentando os intrigantes desafios do voo espacial tripulado e inspirando os futuros desafios da medicina na terra – o mais novo laboratório de pesquisa do Instituto de Medicina Aeroespacial do Centro Aeroespacial Alemão (DLR) em Colônia (Alemanha)
RESUMO: Como um novo centro de projeto modular para experimentação médica, o propósito de :envihab é estudar em condições rigorosamente padronizadas os complexos problemas apresentados por um sistema de suporte de vida fechado (:envihab = habitat ambiental) e as interações entre os seres humanos e o meio ambiente e possíveis contramedidas. O objetivo principal do :envihab é contribuir, através da investigação orientada por hipótese, a percepção científica e do progresso tecnológico, de modo a fornecer soluções para as principais questões mais importantes para a vida na Terra. O :envihab vai entregar resultados relevantes para a indústria do progresso científico, juntamente com suas vantagens econômicas, e incentivar o debate público sobre importantes questões orientadas para o futuro em relação a vida humana. Os dados coletados poderão ser utilizados como um ponto de partida para as futuras tarefas de modelação que serão necessárias em todas as áreas da medicina.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: medicina espacial; laboratório de pesquisa terrestre; centrífuga humana; envihab.
