An international team of researchers has developed a new biomarker tool, the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA), to improve astronaut health and aid in the field of aerospace medicine. SOMA is a database of integrated data and sample repository from various space missions that can provide valuable biomedical profiling for monitoring the health impacts of space travel. The tool may also have applications for individuals on Earth with limited mobility or who are bedridden. The Atlas includes extensive molecular and physiological profiles, with samples collected pre-flight, during, post-flight, and throughout the recovery period. This resource represents a significant increase in publicly available human space omics data.
