A precursor GSP study (IPRAM) was performed to investigate systems for providing radiation environment specification and warnings for human spaceflight.

Crew health is a fundamental concern for any long term space mission. Different health-related projects are carried out by space agencies, including: continuous health monitoring (e.g. physiological data monitoring, muscles and bones mass loss studies), medical diagnosis and care using ultrasound. Most of these studies are however conducted independently relying on different assistance and medical systems.

Currently under GSTP, a Gaz Chromatograph (GC) system is under development making extensive use of MEMS technology ( preconcentrator, detector, columns). What is still missing is an adequalte MEMS based Mass Spectrometer. Recently, first MEMS based MS systems have reached the market, for terrestrial applications, after more than ten years of extensive research.

The Rapid Apophis Mission for Security and Safety (RAMSES) primary mission objective is to characterize and monitor the dynamic behaviour of the asteroid 99942 Apophis before, during, and after its close Earth fly-by in 2029.

This research integrates a complete diving mask with a custom-made VR headset to replicate a space-like setting. Alongside designing and building a waterproof VR headset, a pivotal aspect involves implementing a tracking system to ascertain spatial positioning and orientation. Employing an external tracking system, comprising four cameras housed underwater and affixed to aluminum rails this is achieved using fiducial markers.

Medical imaging capabilities available in the ISS are today limited to an ultrasound scanner. While ultrasound offers a number of advantages, it also has several constraints, in particular in terms of operator dependence and difficulty in acquiring a high-quality images. In the field of medical imaging, ESA has for several years sponsored a number of activities focusing on ultrasound.
