The Aeromedical Center (AeMC) at the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne-Porz is one of the largest examination centers in Germany in the civil sector.

Operational Space Medicine

Starting with the first astronaut selections in 1978/79 and the following Spacelab 1 mission (STS-9), operational space medicine at DLR in Cologne-Porz has now achieved a unique position in Europe in the medical care of astronauts on national and European missions of the European Space Agency (ESA).

Travel medicine

Every employee must receive travel medicine when traveling long-distance. This is prescribed by G35. Since it was first published in 1980, the employer liability insurance association's Principle 35 Working abroad under special climatic and health stresses has been a compulsory examination for all companies.

Research

Our department conducts research on medical monitoring of eye changes to improve health for people in space and on Earth. This includes technology demonstrations, artificial intelligence applications, analog studies (e.g., bed rest, Mars, parabolic flights, etc.), and hardware and software development to support clinicians, astronauts, digital health at home, and remote medicine.
