Although each NSBRI Science and Technology Team has a different area of focus, they all have the same mission: protect astronaut health. The Smart Medical Systems and Technology Team's Executive Summary gives a detailed look at the Team's activities and goals.
The Executive Summary covers the following topics: - Background/Scope
- Goals
