Join the webinar on Accessibility in Human Spaceflight
by Staff Writers
Paris (ESA) May 03, 2023
What are the next steps for making human spaceflight more inclusive, accessible, and safer? How can designing for space accessibility improve accessibility on Earth? Where does ESA's parastronaut feasibility project stand?

On Thursday, 11 May 2023 at 15:00-17:00 CEST, join the webinar organised by ESA's Advanced Concepts Team and ESA's Chief Diversity Officer, with the support of the non-profit BIRNE7 e.V.

For the past six decades, humanity has witnessed approximately 630 astronauts leave Earth for orbital missions of short or long duration. In recent years, diversity in human spaceflight has increased, in terms of gender, culture, age, nationality and disability.

The launch of ESA's parastronaut feasibility project, along with the selection of the first astronaut with a physical disability, has brought greater attention to the conversation about accessibility. As we prepare to return to the Moon, making space travel accessible to all is a game-changer.

The purpose of this webinar is to shed light on the importance of designing space architecture and technologies that are safe, accessible, and sustainable. We will explore how designing for space accessibility can improve accessibility on Earth and learn more about ESA's parastronaut feasibility project.

How to land on a planet safely
Washington DC (SPX) Apr 26, 2023
When a lander descends toward the moon - or a rocky planet, asteroid, or comet - the exhaust plume of the rocket interacts with the surface, causing erosion and kicking up regolith particles. The resulting blanket of dusty debris can create a dangerous brownout effect, limiting visibility and potentially damaging the spacecraft or nearby equipment. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Chungnam National University, the University of Edinburgh, Gyeongsang National University, an ... read more
