As part of its commitment to scientific and technological development in Argentina, Integra Capital celebrates and supports the career of María Noel de Castro Campos, a biomedical engineer from Salta who has been selected to participate in the training and evaluation process for future crewed space missions.
Over recent months, De Castro has completed rigorous international astronaut training programs, including flight simulations, survival exercises in extreme environments, underwater training, and practice in pressurized capsules. Her profile combines a background in biomedical engineering with specialization in bioastronautics—an emerging field of growing importance for space medicine and applied research.
This initiative is part of the cooperation agreement between Argentina and the U.S. company Axiom Space, which includes the possibility of an Argentine representative joining a future private space mission. De Castro is the first Argentine candidate to advance through this process, supported by the national scientific system and under the observation of international aerospace institutions.
