In the 2030s, NASA plans to send humans to Mars, but what if one of the crew members has a serious health issue during the trip?
An astronaut visiting the International Space Station can return to Earth within a matter of hours for emergency medical attention, whereas a voyage to deep space is an entirely different matter.
To overcome this challenge, NASA is preparing to test a remote surgical robot called MIRA, which comprises a main section equipped with two instrument arms that can be controlled remotely for minimally invasive surgery.
It will be tested on the International Space Station in 2024 to determine if the MIRA device is a viable medical tool for lengthy crewed missions to space. The device was developed by Nebraska-based Virtual Incision with input from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
It will operate inside a microwave-sized experiment locker during testing and simulate medical procedures, including handling small objects and cutting simulated tissue, according to a release from MIRA.
Developed over two decades, the robot's two-pound weight and small size make it attractive to surgeons. It is also ideal for use on a relatively small spacecraft with strict weight limitations.
MIRA’s remotely operated console, with hand controls and foot pedals, gives the surgeon total control over the instrument arms and endoscopic vision of the anatomy.
MIRA was designed by Virtual Incision to deliver the power of a mainframe robotic-assisted surgery device in a miniaturized size, allowing robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) to be performed in any operating room across the globe, according to John Murphy, CEO of Virtual Incision.
In collaboration with NASA, MIRA will experiment with making surgery accessible even in the most remote locations.
As NASA plans to use long-duration space travel shortly, Farritor said, 'it is essential to test technology that may be beneficial during missions measured in months and years.'
MIRA is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in RAS, and we are pleased with its performance so far.' 'As space travel becomes a reality for mankind, we look forward to helping identify what is possible in the future.'
