John McFall, a former Paralympian sprinter and trauma and orthopedic surgeon from the United Kingdom, has become the first astronaut with a disability to be medically cleared for long-duration space missions. He was selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2022 for its "Fly! Feasibility" study, which assessed the feasibility of sending astronauts with disabilities into space. The study addressed challenges related to prosthetic function in microgravity and emergency procedures. ESA has now certified him for spaceflight, though he has not yet received a specific mission assignment.
