NASA emphasizes the importance of comprehensive astronaut health. Considerations for the protection of astronaut health spans a continuum across a mission, including requirements for selecting a healthy crew, preparing the crew for a mission, and continuing to monitor and rehabilitate the crew postflight.
Crew Selection and Recertification is designed to ensure the health, safety, and occupational longevity of NASA career astronauts. The standards used reflect the medical requirements to successfully complete specific mission tasks and the multifaceted training and performance required. These include, but are not limited to, flying in high performance aircrafts, extreme environment analogs, exposure to hypobaric and hyperbaric conditions, exposure to unique environments (e.g., microgravity), and conducting specialized operations (e.g., extravehicular activities, robotic arm operations).

Perseverance, nicknamed Percy, is a car-sized Mars rover designed to explore the crater Jezero on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched on 30 July 2020, at 11:50 UTC. Confirmation that the rover successfully landed on Mars was received on 18 February 2021, at 20:55 UTC. As of 31 August 2021, Perseverance has been active on Mars for 189 sols (194 Earth days) since its landing. Following the rover’s arrival, NASA named the landing site Octavia E.
