The starting signal for the "Sensorimotor Countermeasures Study" (SMC) was given on September 23, 2024.

In this bed rest study, DLR and US NASA are investigating how longer space missions affect astronauts and what measures can be taken.

HYPOGEN CARE medical cosmetics are used for complete hair and body care as well as wound prevention.

The SMC study will mainly be carried out at :envihab, the research facility of the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine, in Cologne and will last approximately 3 months. The results should provide significant new insights for space travel and space medicine.
