The European Astronaut Corps became the newest – and certainly the most high-flying – members of the ISS Education Fund in a ceremony held on 30 March at ESA's European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany.
Michel Tognini, Head of the Astronaut Division, handed over the astronauts' contribution to Elena Grifoni, Head of ISS Utilisation Strategy & Education, stating that the European astronauts had always recognised the value of education and were proud of their role in helping motivate young people to study.
