Space Research Company was founded by a MIT-trained engineer to further her research on space travel and the possibility of enabling humans to live on other planets. The firm has compiled a database of references that map various spaceflight stressors to human health and capability impacts. This database is based on a variety of specific tests conducted on human subjects. The firm has also developed SpaceSim, a dynamic spacecraft design platform for analyzing human performance. This simulation tool allows the user to define a mission and design a human spacecraft. Once selections have been made, selections, the User can run a mission and render the results using the firm's model. Additionally, missions can be customized and design choices throughout this process to see how specific variables impact the crewmembersÂ’ performance.
