IEEE Aerospace Conference 2023
Event website: https://aeroconf.org
KBR is proud to present its achievements at the IEEE Aerospace Conference 2023! Five KBR employees from the Human Physiology, Performance, Protection, and Operations (H-3PO) Laboratory at NASA's Johnson Space Center will be sharing their peer-reviewed papers and presentations in several technical areas supporting NASA’s Artemis program, the space agency’s historic initiative to return to the lunar surface. Throughout the conference, KBR presenters will discuss a variety of technical areas, such as:
- Next-generation spacesuits and our consideration of possible injuries and injury mechanisms that could occur in the suit during upcoming lunar missions
- How physiological data can be used to understand and estimate the physical demand to complete exploration EVA tasks successfully
- How a greater understanding of the sex-specific adaptation to space travel will help determine the development of appropriate countermeasures for minimizing risk and maintaining health of all astronauts
We invite all attendees to join us at the various technical sessions and connect with our space professionals. A full list of paper details and schedule of events can be found here. KBR speakers and paper topics include:
