Julie experiment
Imagine being on a mission on Mars, suffering from an accident or trauma following an EVA that would require surgery and prevent your repatriation to the Earth… Wouldn’t it be incredible to be able to find a device to treat the problem on the spot and without the need of a surgeon? It is exactly what I would like to explore at the MDRS during this mission. In this way, the conquest of space could guard against the fracture risks that could force the astronaut to die in this atypical environment, by simply carrying a low-cost fixator that remains accessible, fast and easily achievable by any astronaut without surgical training.
