Abstract

Accessible spaceflight may seem a distant concept. as part of a diverse european Space agency funded topical team, we are working on the physiological feasibility of space missions being undertaken by people with physical disabilities. Here, the first activity of this team is presented in the form of key lessons learned from aviation to inform new work on space missions
