Abstract
The SpaceX Inspiration4 mission provided a unique opportunity to study the impact of spaceflight on the human body. Biospecimen samples were collected from four crew members longitudinally before, during, and after spaceflight. The collection process included a wide range of samples, and a total of 2,911 sample aliquots were shipped to Weill Cornell Medicine for downstream assays and biobanking. This paper details the biospecimen collection and processing procedures, establishing a robust framework for future aerospace medicine research within the Space Omics and Medical Atlas (SOMA) initiative.
