art002e013365 (April 7, 2026) \u2013 The Artemis II crew \u2013 (clockwise from left) Mission Specialist Christina Koch, Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen, Commander Reid Wiseman, and Pilot Victor Glover \u2013 pause for a group photo with their zero gravity indicator “Rise,” inside the Orion spacecraft on their way home. Following a swing around the far side of the Moon on April 6, 2026, the crew exited the lunar sphere of influence (the point at which the Moon’s gravity has a stronger pull on Orion than the Earth’s) on April 7, and are headed back to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on April 10.<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NASA\u2019s Human Research Program<\/a> (HRP) uses research to develop methods to protect the health and performance of astronauts in space. In support of NASA\u2019s goals\u00a0for long-term missions\u00a0on the surface of the Moon and human exploration\u00a0of\u00a0Mars, HRP is using ground research facilities, the International Space Station, and analog environments to\u00a0monitor\u00a0human\u00a0health in deep space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Artemis II mission was the first crewed mission to the vicinity of the Moon since Apollo 17 in December 1972. The mission carried four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on a trajectory into deep space \u2013 farther than any humans have gone before \u2013 marking a pivotal milestone in the history of human exploration. For the first time in more than half a century, human beings experienced the full physiological and psychological conditions of space travel beyond low Earth orbit, including an environment with space radiation, the isolation and confinement of a new spacecraft, and the operational demands of a test mission profile. <\/p>\n

For HRP, Artemis II represents an irreplaceable research opportunity. The data collected from the four-person crew will expand an existing body of knowledge built primarily from missions in low Earth orbit, extending it into the deep space environment. It will provide direct measurements of how the human body responds to conditions that ground-based simulation cannot fully replicate. <\/p>\n

The unique dataset will also present a profound analytical challenge. Though the sample size is only four subjects, the data will span multiple physiological systems, data modalities, and time points. That combination is what the NASA Artemis II Human Research Data Methodology Challenge seeks to address.<\/p>\n

Award: <\/strong>$25,000 in total prizes<\/p>\n

Challenge Open Date: <\/strong>March 30, 2026<\/p>\n

Submission Close Date:<\/strong> June 5, 2026<\/p>\n
