Inflight call with an astronaut

West University of Timisoara, Romania
January 24, 2017

On 24 January 2017, teachers from Romania, Ireland and Portugal were connected by video connection with ESA astronaut, Thomas Pesquet, who were on ISS.

After a national competition, Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) and European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) selected 5 Romanian teachers to ask Thomas questions about how space is used in everyday life and how the many applications from space research have changed the way we live.

My question was 'What kind of research are you conducting during the Proxima mission that could contribute to new technologies to be used in our daily life?' (from 3:23 minute to 4:40 minute in this video).
