Human Exploration of the Moon and Cislunar Space (1) Author: Ms
Paper ID: 47143 69th International Astronautical Congress 2018 oral 21st IAA SYMPOSIUM ON HUMAN EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM (A5) Human Exploration of the Moon and Cislunar Space (1) Author: Ms. Dorota Budzyn European Space Agency (ESA/EAC), Germany, [email protected] Mr. Herv´eStevenin European Space Agency - Astronaut Training Center, Germany, [email protected] Dr. Matthias Maurer ESA/EAC, Germany, [email protected] Ms. Loredana Bessone ESA, European Astronaut Centre (EAC), Germany, [email protected] Mr. Francesco Sauro Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy, [email protected] PROTOTYPING OF LUNAR SURFACE GEOLOGICAL SAMPLING TOOLS FOR MOON SPACEWALK SIMULATIONS BY ESA Abstract Apollo Lunar missions returned to scientists on Earth the first collection of geological extra-terrestrial planetary samples, other than meteorites. Scientists around the world are still studying rocks and soil samples that were collected, by the Apollo 11 through 17 missions, using modern equipment, methods and technologies. The return of samples has allowed the field of planetary science to advance in ways unthinkable with the restrictions of in-situ analysis and remote observations. As for every other aspect of the Apollo programme, the design and manufacturing of the tools uti- lized by astronauts for sample collection had to meet rigorous planetary protection requirements, whilst respecting stringent environmental and operability constraints. Many of those tools went through various redesign efforts, based on feedback from the very skillful and resourceful astronauts using them. In future planetary exploration missions, geological and geo-microbiological sampling will be a key to further devel- opment of our understanding of the evolution of the solar system, and to develop successful technologies for in-situ resource utilization and 3D printing. -

First DJ in Space 15 August 2019
First DJ in space 15 August 2019 operational activities, Luca also explained the goal of his Beyond mission and demonstrated life on board the Station to the audience in Ibiza. All these activities were key to widening awareness of ESA to a young European audience and bringing the focus on space in an inspirational and accessible setting. Luca's set was followed by that of his mentor, German DJ Le Shuuk. Luca had taken time out of his busy pre-flight training schedule earlier this year to work with Le Shuuk and receive a briefing on how to mix tracks. Le Shuuk prepared a personal playlist for Luca to take with him to the Station, and provided specialist DJ software that was uploaded ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano made space (and music) to the astronaut's tablets in space. history on 13 August 2019 when he broadcast the first DJ music set from orbit, performing to an audience of over 3000 people as part of the BigCityBeats WORLD CLUB DOME Cruise Edition. The results of his work were beamed to the main stage on board the cruise ship Norwegian Pearl moored at the Spanish island of Ibiza. His set of around 12 minutes was played as part of the regular programme of DJs at the festival. This was the first time that a DJ set has been played from the International Space Station and, indeed, from 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. -
