Planning

Planning is an integral step in the process of space travel. New astronaut recruits need to go through an application process in order to receive a license for flight. This license must be given by the Federal Aviation Administration in order to ensure that the recruit is qualified and knowledgable about all the safety practices before proceeding.

We follow all of the regulations outlined on the Federal Aviation Administration's Regulations on Human Spaceflight and their recommended practices.

1

Application for License

  • Fill out basic information
  • Articulate Scope of License
  • Accept Means of Compliance
2

FAA Workshops

  • 3 Day workshop
  • Covers regulations
3

Safety Reviews

  • Evaluation of Organization
  • Flight Safety Analysis
  • Quantitative Risk Criteria

Training

Training is necessary for recruits to be prepared to travel through the galaxy. This includes strength training and buoyancy training. Recruits also have to be prepared for the weightlessness they will experience in space.

We follow all of the regulations outlined on the Federal Aviation Administration's Regulations on Human Spaceflight and their recommended practices.

1

Strength & Conditioning

  • Heavy workouts
  • Extensive Cardio
2

Preparing for Microgravity

  • Get a feel for weightlessness
  • Articulate Scope of License
  • Accept Means of Compliance
3

Buoyancy Training

  • 7-hours per day underwater
  • Practice doing tasks in full-sized space shuttle models.
  • Water helps replicate conditions in Space
4

VR Training

  • Preparation for motion-sickness
  • Prepare for tasks in space shuttle

Health

Understanding the health risks and how to minimize negative effects on health is a crutial step in preperation for space travel and being safe.

We follow all of the regulations outlined on the Federal Aviation Administration's Regulations on Human Spaceflight and their recommended practices.

Recovery

Recovery is the final part of the space travel process. There are numerous side effects that can occur after traveling to the depths of space. These effects need to be treated.

We follow all of the regulations outlined on the Federal Aviation Administration's Regulations on Human Spaceflight and their recommended practices.

1

Bone & Muscle Deterioration

  • Extensive Exercise for Muscles
  • Medications
  • Diet for Bone Growth
2

Physocological Effects

  • Some might Experience Stress
  • Some might Experience Lack of Sleep
  • Treated with Rehabilitation
3

Effects of Weightlessness

  • Post-flight orthostatic intolerance
  • Requires rest
  • Blood pressure returns to normal eventually
