This includes everything from classroom-based technical training on all the onboard systems to the much more practical training on how to perform a spacewalk or control the robotic arm. And of course there is also Russian language training on top of it. All of this training takes place among the international partners behind the ISS program, which means that I am constantly travelling between NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Star City in Russia, and the European Astronaut Center. The training is intended to teach us new skills, but it doesn’t teach us much about life in space.

  • European Space Agency: Astronaut Recruitment Drive for Greater Diversity
    European Space Agency: Astronaut recruitment drive for greater diversity Jonathan Amos Science correspondent @BBCAmoson Twitter The European Space Agency says it wants to recruit someone with a disability as part of its call for new astronauts. Esa will be accepting applications in March to fill four-to-six vacancies in its astro corps but it wants this draft process to be as inclusive as possible. The search for a potential flier with additional functional needs will be run in parallel to the main call. The agency has asked the International Paralympic Committee to advise it on selection. "To be absolutely clear, we're not looking to hire a space tourist that happens also to have a disability," said Dr David Parker, the director of Esa's robotics and human spaceflight programme. "To be very explicit, this individual would do a meaningful space mission. So, they would need to do the science; they would need to participate in all the normal operations of the International Space Station (ISS). "This is not about tokenism," he told BBC News. "We have to be able to justify to all the people who fund us - which is everybody, including people who happen to be disabled - that what we're doing is somehow meaningful to everybody." Individuals with a lower limb deficiency or who have restricted growth - circumstances that have always been a bar in the past - are encouraged to apply. At this stage, the selected individual would be part of a feasibility project to understand the requirements, such as on safety and technical support. But the clear intention is to make "para- astronauts" a reality at some point in the future, even if this takes some time.

  • Classroom Resource Booklet
    Classroom Resource Booklet Engineering in Space: Astronauts and the International Space Station Engineering in Space: Astronauts and the International Space Station German V-2 rockets (which were weapons) were the first to reach 100 kilometres above the Earth's surface; this is the distance that's accepted as "the beginning of space". The first satellite reached orbit in 1957 (Russia's Sputnik satellites). Fruit flies, monkeys and a Russian dog flew into space before humans even tried! The first human in space was Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut. Since then, many astronauts from many countries have flown into orbit and 24 people have gone as far as the Moon (12 of those people walked on the Moon). The International Space Station (ISS) is a satellite the size of a football field which is managed by the space agencies of Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia and the United States. The ISS is a space laboratory that is home to dozens of scientific experiments and the astronauts who conduct them. The first part of the ISS was launched into space in 1998. It has been occupied continuously since 2000. There have been at least three people on the ISS at any given moment since 2000. Crews are always coming and going, and stay for typically a few months at a time. The European Space Agency (ESA) contributes to the ISS and sends astronauts to live and work there. Recent ESA astronauts include Thomas Pesquet, Tim Peakes, Andreas Mogensen and Samantha Cristoforetti.

  • PROGRAMME 20-21 September 2014
    Le Capitole, Toulouse town hall, at night (Credit: Benh Lieu Song) PROGRAMME 20-21 September 2014 The SpaceUp Toulouse organising team would like to especially thank Cité de l’espace for hosting the event! 2 Welcome to SpaceUp Toulouse! The SpaceUp Toulouse organizing team welcomes you to the second SpaceUp Unconference in France. We are very proud we were able to bring this successful and fun concept to our region and to have found a great location and a great setup, but… You will have to help us make it a success in the upcoming two days! We have provided you with a location, an empty grid and a few special-guests, but now it’s up to you to fill the grid with great space content. Just stick a post-it note in the slot that best suits your idea and tell us all about it! Most important of all, have fun! Your organizing team @SpaceUpToulouse – Anthony, Arnaud, Brigitte, Damien, Fabrice, Guillaume, Isabelle, Ludivine 3 SpaceUp: How it works SpaceUp is an unconference, also known as a user-generated conference or a BarCamp. There are no spectators at SpaceUp, only participants. All attendees are expected to give a demo, present a talk, or participate in a panel or roundtable. It’s not as scary as it might sound, though. Sessions at SpaceUp are conversations, just like every conversation you’ve had (or wanted to have) at any other conference. The only difference is that the sessions can be planned on the spot, which means we’re sure to be talking about topics we find interesting.
