Hi all
We have an exciting event taking place during the forthcoming Science Week which may be of interest to you and members of IFAS. European astronaut Christer Fuglesang, who became the first Swede in space in 2006, will be giving a talk on his experience in space and ESA’s EXPOSURE Experiments on the International Space Station.
To add to that, Christer was also at the opening of the Mars-500 capsule last week so he was one of the first people to speak to astronauts who took part in the Mars-500 mission! So he will also be able to talk to us about their experiences and about this exciting time in space exploration. This truly is a unique opportunity to hear from an expert on the most important ‘space mission’ in recent years.
The event will take place on Thursday 17th November at 6.30pm in Belvedere College, Dublin 1.
