As the vanguard of human spaceflight increasingly transitions from one of low Earth orbit (LEO) to Lunar and subsequently Martian missions, there is a commensurate imperative for Earth-based medical authority to transition to space-based assets for the continued assurance of optimal astronaut health and performance. The transition to Earth Independent Medical Operations (EIMO) will be a process that enables progressively resilient systems and crews to reduce risk and enhance wellness and overall mission success for deep space exploration. Terrestrial assets will continue to be paramount in pre-mission screening, planning, maintenance, and prevention. Yet on-board care, response to unexpected medical events, and management of communication delays and dropouts will increasingly become the purview of the crew for primary management.
