Our team’s research focuses on space medicine related to the physiological and psychological adaptation of civilian spaceflight participants, and explores an interdisciplinary research model through the convergence of space medicine and tourism studies.

Our research explores two key areas in the field of space tourism.

1. Our research explores two key areas in the field of space tourism.

   Our research examines consumer behavior to understand the motivations and preferences of potential space travelers. By analyzing psychological traits and decision-making patterns, we develop targeted digital marketing strategies that promote commercialization of the space tourism.

2. Sustainable Space Tourism with AI Technology

   We also focus on building a sustainable space tourism industry by integrating AI technology with SDG and ESG principles. This approach aims to enhance environmental responsibility, promote ethical practices, and ensure long-term industry growth.

For Team 3, they closely examined the types of space weather that could occur during space tourism and analyzed the potential physical and technical risks associated with each level of severity. In addition, they focused on identifying strategies to overcome space weather risks.

Our research team is dedicated to advancing the field of space tourism by adopting an interdisciplinary approach that blends virtual reality (VR)–based experiential research, cognitive psychology, and tourism studies. We adopt immersive simulations to replicate space travel environments, allowing us to investigate how individuals perceive and respond to these novel experiences. Through these studies, we aim to identify the psychological, emotional, and behavioral factors that influence future space tourists. Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to the development of safer, more satisfying, and more sustainable space tourism experiences.

Our research focuses on understanding residents' perceptions toward the development of aerospace complexes and tourism-related projects in South Korea. As aerospace hub cities and space tourism initiatives gain momentum globally, securing local community support is essential, particularly in small and mid-sized cities. We aim to explore how these large-scale developments influence residents' attitudes and identify strategies to align such projects with local priorities.
