Crew Medical Support Office

Crew Medical Support Office

The primary function of medical operations, centred at the Crew Medical Support Office (CMSO) in the European Astronaut Centre, Cologne, Germany, is to maximize the operational effectiveness and minimize risks to the health of the European astronauts involved in human space flight activities. Furthermore CMSO also functions as a means of support to ESA astronaut families throughout their careers.

In order to fulfill this function CMSO provides flight surgeon services in combination with direct biomedical engineer support. To be fully effective these key areas of service provision require additional in-house supporting elements namely; exercise science, rehabilitation, IT and project management capabilities.
