Where is the research in 2025 on Stasis for spaceflights? (Space Tech)

NASA and SpaceWorks Enterprises are leading research into synthetic torpor using therapeutic hypothermia for long-duration spaceflight. Key developments include a torpor-inducing module that reduces crew habitat mass and volume by 75% for Mars missions. Astronauts cycle through 10-14-day stasis periods using intravenous cooling and pharmaceuticals, minimizing resource consumption and minimizing psychosocial stress. ESA’s focus is on mitigating long-duration spaceflight effects, while India’s Gaganyaan program focuses on foundational human spaceflight capabilities. While no agency has deployed operational stasis systems, NASA’s progress suggests this technology could revolutionize crewed deep-space missions within the next decade. The field remains largely experimental and interdisciplinary, requiring advances in medical science, engineering, and human factors to realize practical stasis systems for space exploration.
