BodySealer Selected by Artemis Space Expedition for Critical Bio-Containment Application
Merrick, NY – BodySealer, the industry leader in advanced hermetically sealed containment systems, has received a groundbreaking order from the Artemis Space Expedition team. Irwin Maltz, President of BodySealer, proudly announced the collaboration, marking a pioneering step for both the space and containment technology industries.
The Artemis team is currently developing a comprehensive concept of operations for handling deceased crew members during extended missions. As part of this effort, they have selected BodySealer’s state-of-the-art hermetically sealed pouches as a potential low-mass, high-integrity solution for bio-containment in space environments. This consideration follows successful testing by the Artemis Expedition team, where BodySealer’s performance exceeded expectations in extreme conditions.
“BodySealer is honored to contribute to humanity’s push into deep space,” said Maltz. “The reliability of our pouches — proven during the pandemic and now confirmed in space mission simulations — demonstrates their unmatched containment capabilities.”
Originally designed to meet Bio-Containment Level 4 standards, BodySealer pouches are engineered to prevent the escape of odors, gases, or fluids. Unlike traditional containment methods, BodySealer products require no refrigeration, making them ideal for environments where resources are limited or unavailable. Rigorous independent testing at Clemson University validated the pouch’s ability to maintain full containment under the harshest conditions.
This development represents a significant milestone in the application of terrestrial containment technologies for extraterrestrial operations. BodySealer is proud to support NASA’s Artemis mission and the broader goals of safe and sustainable space exploration.
