Committed to Supporting Innovation
At Aspen Laser, we thrive on supporting organizations and institutions who make it their priority to push the boundaries of innovative excellence, in addition to uplifting and educating their communities. As such, we are excited to announce our partnership with the Space Foundation. To help understand the significance of this partnership, we must turn back the pages in history.
History of Light Therapy for Astronauts
Space exploration began in the 1950s when the then Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space called Sputnik. This launched the era known as the “Space Race” between the United States and the Soviet Union. Space achievements continued into the 1960s when, on July 20, 1969, the crowning event to end that decade would be the Apollo Mission, which put man on the moon.
With each space mission came the need for astronauts to prepare their bodies for the rigors of space flight, as well as to properly recover. NASA began to research, develop, and utilize light therapy technology to fulfill this need. Red and near-infrared light for therapeutic benefit was quickly adopted for use throughout all of NASA, and used pre-mission, post-mission, and during space flights. Worldwide adoption of light and laser therapy began to be more prevalent, for individuals everywhere, astronauts or not.
