One Giant Leap into the Future of Space Medicine

Aerospace medicine is helping the University of Central Florida (UCF), and humanity, push the bounds of what’s possible. Imagine a world where space stations are no longer a rarity, but bustling hubs of medical research and patient care, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical solutions developed in microgravity save lives here on earth. Though this may seem like far-fetched science fiction, business analysts foresee the space economy growing to more than $1 trillion in the 2030s and triple that by mid-century. We invite you to take one giant leap with us as we explore the intersection of space development and healthcare and the immense potential it holds for our not-so-distant future.
