China's space station has achieved early successes in space medicine that are expected to play a key role in upcoming manned lunar landings and other deep space missions, as highlighted at the Second Frontier Forum of Space Medicine held this weekend in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.

The two-day forum brought together leading experts and scholars to exchange insights on new theories and explore advancements in space medicine. Key discussions focused on ensuring astronaut health and survival during long-term deep space missions.

"The technical support of space medicine is an indispensable part of the application and development stage of China's space station, and of the implementation of a manned lunar landing mission, both of which have ushered in new opportunities for the development of space medicine," said Yang Liwei, deputy chief designer of China's manned space program and China's first taikonaut, at the forum's opening.

Space medicine not only supports space missions but also contributes to public health research, offering a platform for studies related to cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, aging, and drug development.

"We will continue to improve our in-orbit protection capabilities and build technical reserves for manned deep space exploration missions," added Li Yinghui, a researcher from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
