Garmin smartwatches play key role in human spaceflight research
Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) announced that its fēnix® smartwatches are being used in the Fram2 human spaceflight mission to support scientific research on spaceflight's effects on mental and physical health. The all-civilian crew's biometrics, including heart rate, Pulse Ox, and Body Battery™, will be continuously monitored using these 'space-ready' watches.
The smartwatches were specifically tested for the harsh, low-pressure space environment and feature extended battery life allowing 24/7 monitoring without recharging. The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) at Baylor College of Medicine will collect physiological data for their EXPAND database to address space mission challenges.
Fram2 is notable as the first human spaceflight mission launched into polar orbit to explore Earth's polar regions, marking the second private spaceflight utilizing Garmin smartwatch technology for scientific research.
Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) ha annunciato che i suoi smartwatch fēnix® sono utilizzati nella missione spaziale umana Fram2 per supportare la ricerca scientifica sugli effetti del volo spaziale sulla salute mentale e fisica. I parametri biometrici dell'equipaggio interamente civile, tra cui la frequenza cardiaca, il Pulse Ox e il Body Battery™, saranno monitorati continuamente utilizzando questi orologi 'pronti per lo spazio'.
Gli smartwatch sono stati specificamente testati per l'ambiente spaziale ostile e a bassa pressione e presentano una durata della batteria estesa che consente il monitoraggio 24 ore su 24, 7 giorni su 7, senza bisogno di ricarica. Il Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) del Baylor College of Medicine raccoglierà dati fisiologici per il loro database EXPAND per affrontare le sfide delle missioni spaziali.
Fram2 è notevole in quanto è la prima missione spaziale umana lanciata in orbita polare per esplorare le regioni polari della Terra, segnando il secondo volo spaziale privato che utilizza la tecnologia degli smartwatch Garmin per la ricerca scientifica.

Les biométriques de l'équipage entièrement civil, y compris la fréquence cardiaque, le Pulse Ox et le Body Battery™, seront continuellement surveillés à l'aide de ces montres 'prêtes pour l'espace'.
Les montres intelligentes ont été spécifiquement testées pour l'environnement spatial difficile et basse pression et présentent une autonomie prolongée permettant une surveillance 24/7 sans recharge. Le Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) du Baylor College of Medicine collectera des données physiologiques pour leur base de données EXPAND afin de relever les défis des missions spatiales.
Fram2 est remarquable en tant que première mission spatiale humaine lancée en orbite polaire pour explorer les régions polaires de la Terre, marquant le deuxième vol spatial privé utilisant la technologie des montres intelligentes Garmin pour la recherche scientifique.
Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) gab bekannt, dass seine fēnix® Smartwatches in der Fram2 Menschenraumfahrtmission eingesetzt werden, um die wissenschaftliche Forschung zu den Auswirkungen des Raumflugs auf die mentale und physische Gesundheit zu unterstützen. Die Biometrie der rein zivilen Crew, einschließlich Herzfrequenz, Pulse Ox und Body Battery™, wird kontinuierlich mit diesen 'raumfähigen' Uhren überwacht.
Die Smartwatches wurden speziell für die rauen, niedrigdruckigen Weltraumumgebungen getestet und verfügen über eine verlängerte Batterielaufzeit, die eine 24/7-Überwachung ohne Aufladen ermöglicht. Das Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) am Baylor College of Medicine wird physiologische Daten für ihre EXPAND-Datenbank sammeln, um den Herausforderungen von Raumfahrtmissionen zu begegnen.
Fram2 ist bemerkenswert als die erste Menschenraumfahrtmission, die in eine polare Umlaufbahn gestartet wurde, um die Polarregionen der Erde zu erkunden, und markiert den zweiten privaten Raumflug, der die Technologie der Garmin-Smartwatch für wissenschaftliche Forschung nutzt.
- Expansion into space technology market with validated 'space-ready' products
- Strategic partnership with TRISH for space health research
- Second successful implementation in private spaceflight missions
