Research

At ILMAH, groundbreaking research is a joint effort between UND graduate students and collaborators including NASA, CSA, APUS/AMU, and FIT. We explore aspects of physiology, psychology, neuroscience, technology, and time-delay communications in simulated lunar and Martian environments. Uniting diverse expertise, we delve into the complexities of human adaptability in long-duration spaceflight and planetary operations. Our work contributes to successful missions beyond Earth's boundaries. Join us as we embark on an exciting journey of discovery, aiming to revolutionize the future of space exploration.

Current Projects

  • Time-delay communications
  • Psychophysiology, neuroscience, and group dynamics
  • Plant production and impact on crew health
  • In-situ sample analysis
  • Human health and exercise
  • Rear entry space suit design testing
  • EVA and rover training and operations
