Collaborate With HRP
The Human Research Program (HRP) offers funding, collaboration, and partnership opportunities to those interested in the future of human spaceflight. Learn more about how to get involved with HRP.
HRP Overview
Get to know our program, the spaceflight hazards we study, and the specific risks and knowledge gaps our research addresses.

Who We Are
HRP uses research to develop methods to protect the health and performance of astronauts in space.

View Our Hazards
HRP has identified five hazards of human spaceflight: space radiation, isolation and confinement, distance from Earth, gravity (or lack thereof), and hostile or closed environments.

View Spaceflight Risks
HRP has identified specific risks associated with the five hazards of human spaceflight.

Risk Approach Plans
Explore timelines of how HRP is buying down specific risks faced by astronauts during spaceflight.

Human Research Roadmap
The Human Research Roadmap provides an overview of the risks and knowledge gaps that HRP associates with human spaceflight.
