Meet Andrea Patassa—take a look at pilot, aviator, passionate out of doors adventurer, and Member of ESA’s Astronaut Reserve.
On this miniseries, we take you on a journey by the ESA Astronaut Reserve, diving into the primary a part of their Astronaut Reserve Coaching (ART) on the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) close to Cologne, Germany. Our “ARTists” are immersing themselves in every little thing from ESA and the Worldwide Area Station programme to the European area business and establishments. They’re gaining hands-on expertise in technical abilities like spacecraft methods and robotics, alongside human behaviour, scientific classes, scuba diving, and survival coaching.
ESA’s Astronaut Reserve Coaching programme is all about constructing Europe’s subsequent era of area explorers—making ready them for the alternatives of future missions in Earth orbit and past.
