Heart
Three-lead ECG at 250 Hz, with heart rate and HRV.
Astroskin and Hexoskin for Space & Aerospace
Follow Crew Physiology From Training to Orbit
Spaceflight, flight decks, and analog missions put people in unfamiliar conditions. Astroskin records heart, breathing, oxygen saturation, skin temperature, and movement in one garment, so research teams can follow every phase of the mission.
Astroskin has been used aboard the International Space Station since 2018, and its three-lead ECG is validated at 97% accuracy. Hexoskin records ECG, breathing, and movement for ground studies.
Breathing
Two textile bands for breathing rate, tidal volume, and minute ventilation.
Oxygen & Temperature
PPG, SpO₂, skin temperature, and a systolic blood-pressure estimate.
Movement
Three-axis acceleration for activity and body position.
Every Phase of the Mission, One Garment
Preparation, task execution, sleep, and recovery each place different demands on the body. Astroskin brings several physiological signals together in a single garment and headband, which keeps setup short for crews with little time, and Hexoskin brings the same software and data workflow to ground studies and larger groups. The synchronized record lines up with mission events and environmental data.
Explore Spaceflight, Aviation, and Analogs
Space and aerospace research covers three settings with one data workflow: spaceflight and its ground studies, flight decks and cockpit tasks, and analog and extreme environments. Each page shows the setup and the evidence for that setting.

Healthy adults aged 55 to 65 wore Hexoskin during cycle tests around head-down bed rest, a ground analog for spaceflight deconditioning. Heart rate variability during exercise was compared with ventilatory thresholds.
