Could life-saving organs be delivered to U.S. hospitals by NASA drones one day? The space agency and the non-profit organ procurement organization United Network for Organ Sharing are in early phases of testing to answer that question.
First, the agency is evaluating the flight capabilities of its unmanned drones at the Virginia-based Langley Research Center, NASA said Tuesday. Next an animal’s organ will be assessed to determine whether it remains viable for donation after a flight.
