Room MC413 is located in the MIT building (“MIT huset”) on the Umeå University campus and Triple Helix on the third floor in the University Liaison Building (“Samverkanshuset”). For information about the Umeå University campus and to see the location of the buildings where the lectures will be held see http://www.umu.se/umu/eng/about/campus. On 18th August a coach will leave from the university at 11 am to take all participants first to visit the Air Force base close to Vidsel, and then on to Kronogård, which was used as a launch site for rockets during the 1960’s (http://www.svengrahn.pp.se/histind/Swefirst/Swefirst.htm). The fishing camp at Kronogård is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. There you will spend the night in hostel accommodation (http://www.kronogard.com/). On Sunday afternoon at around 4pm a coach will collect everyone at Kronogård and transport them to Kiruna. The total distance from Umeå to Kiruna is 600 km.

ESA astronaut Dr. (GT), Head of the Astronaut Division of the European Astronaut Centre, Cologne, Germany. From 11-22 February 2000, Dr. Thiele participated as in the STS-99 Mission. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was dedicated to the first, three-dimensional, digital mapping of the Earth surface on a nearly global scale. He was responsible for SRTM operations, including the deployment and retraction of the 200-foot high boom from Endeavour’s cargo bay upon which one of the flight’s radar systems was mounted. Dr. Thiele was also trained to carry out a spacewalk should there have been a need to make one.

ESA astronaut Dr. Christer Fuglesang. From 9 to 22 December 2006, Christer Fuglesang flew as Mission Specialist on board Space Shuttle Discovery for flight STS-116 to the International Space Station. He became the first Swedish astronaut to fly in space. During his mission, named Celsius, Fuglesang participated in two spacewalks, to attach new hardware to the Space Station and to reconfigure the Station's electrical power system. He was later assigned to participate in an extra unscheduled spacewalk to help free the Station's P6 solar array which had become jammed during retraction. His combined EVA time is 18 hours 14 minutes. Dr. Fuglesang has an Hononary from Umeå University.
