Watch the most recent updates on ESA’s Fly! Feasibility Examine with Daniel Neuenschwander, ESA Director of Human and Robotic Exploration, John McFall, Member of the ESA Astronaut Reserve & Fly! Topic Matter Knowledgeable, Jerome Reineix, Fly! Examine Supervisor, and Alessandro Alcibiade, Fly! Flight Surgeon.
Introduced in November 2022 throughout the Ministerial Council held in Paris, France, this distinctive and groundbreaking research is geared toward understanding and difficult the restrictions posed by bodily disabilities to human spaceflight. Concluded in late 2024, the Fly! Feasibility Examine efficiently demonstrated it’s technically possible to fly somebody with a bodily incapacity, like John’s, on a six-month mission to the Worldwide House Station as a completely built-in crew member. It underpinned the need to make sure that house exploration is just not restricted by bodily constraints and that each particular person can contribute to our collective understanding of the cosmos and of the advantages of spaceflight for all times on Earth.
The top of the feasibility research marks the beginning of the subsequent section: Fly! Mission Prepared . That is a vital step to hold out the primary long-term mission for an astronaut with a bodily incapacity.
