Ask the sky to fly and set the dome of heaven, and space brain science to continue a new chapter. On the occasion of the ascension of the Ask the Sky Experiment Module, the latest research results of Peking University Medical Technology in the field of brain science were broadcasted on the program “Innovation Beijing” of the Science and Education Channel of Beijing Radio and Television. With the prosperous development of China's space industry, aerospace medicine has put forward higher requirements for the exploration and research of human health, and the research on the redistribution of body fluids in the extracellular space and tissue channels has become necessary in the state of prolonged weightlessness.

Our institute has long been among the international leaders in the research of extracellular space, especially the brain extracellular space. Innovation Beijing has continuously followed the latest progress of our institute in this field, and this is the second interview after the report in 2019. Beijing Radio and Television Station and CCTV are important channels for popularizing and disseminating the achievements of science and technology innovation of our institute. In the program, President Han Hongbin introduced the extracellular space, which is an ultrastructural space in the human body that has not yet been fully recognized and exploited by human beings. Based on the introduction of the latest scientific discoveries and technological innovations of the Peking University-centered domestic team in the field of extracellular space research, he focused on the significance of the research for aerospace medicine and the treatment of major brain diseases. Dean Han Hongbin recently received a notice from the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) to be co-opted as a Corresponding Fellow of the IAA Life Division in 2022 for his research achievements in this direction.

It is reported that the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), abbreviated as “IAA”, is a non-governmental international academic organization founded by the world-renowned scientist and aerodynamics master von Karmen, and was established on August 16, 1960 in Stockholm, Sweden, with headquarters in Paris, France. It was founded in Stockholm, Sweden on August 16, 1960 and headquartered in Paris, France. It consists of four academic departments: basic science, engineering science, life science and social science. According to the regulations published on the official website of the International Academy of Astronautics, new academicians are selected once a year, and candidates need to be nominated by three academicians from different countries, and after two rounds of voting, about one-third of the nominees can be elected; after being elected, they become Corresponding Academicians with a term of five years, and can apply for life-time academician in the third year of their term.
