MEDES helps space agencies prepare and carry out scientific experiments and space technology demonstrations in physiology. These activities are carried out by a MEDES team, seconded to the CNES CADMOS centre, which contributes to the preparation, organisation and operational monitoring of physiology experiments on the International Space Station<\/strong>. The team also participates in space development projects<\/strong> by developing experiments or new medical technologies for future manned flights.<\/span><\/p>\n

MEDES also provides support to space agencies for operational space medicine. A MEDES team is seconded to the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne and provides services for the medical support and monitoring of astronauts (before, during and after missions).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

MEDES is also part of Spaceship FR<\/strong>, a project recently set up by CNES, to prepare the space bases of the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, MEDES is involved in selecting astronauts.<\/span><\/p>\n
