Dr. Marc Shepanek, Program and Management Analyst, Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer, NASA

Space exploration has provided tremendous benefits for humanity in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. With limited access to the exciting and challenging environment of space, ground-based analogs provide opportunities to address many of the key challenges of space missions while providing substantial immediate benefits on Earth today. Join Marc Shepanek from NASA’s Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer to hear about testing sites on Earth — like the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions — that support work done on the International Space Station and beyond.
