3076. ASTRONAUT HEALTH CARE PROVISION

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined

CFR Citation: 14 CFR 1205

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Astronaut Health Care for Life Provision initiative 
responds to a critical need identified by NASA, with concurrence by the 
Institute of Medicine, to create a comprehensive health care system for 
astronauts and their families that enables the capture and study of all 
relevant data necessary to ameliorate the risks of space flight. The 
Astronaut Care Provision effort focuses on the best means to develop a 
responsible, complete, and comprehensive health insurance program for 
astronauts and their dependents. If successfully designed and 
implemented, such a program should enhance understanding of how humans 
can travel safely and live longer in space and, as an additional 
benefit, how humans can live longer on earth. In order to provide this 
comprehensive health care for the dependents of active astronauts, 
retired astronauts, and their dependents, NASA needs the appropriate 
authority stipulated in legislation.
