Andreas Mogensen – currently part-way through his Huginn mission – was introduced to the New Scientist Live audience by Romain Charles, who is the coordinator of Spaceship ECSAT, an initiative that gives students the opportunity to quickly investigate key challenges associated with space exploration.
Romain discussed day-to-day life on the International Space Station, the fascinating scientific research that takes place in orbit – and the thousands of professionals on the ground that make human space exploration possible.
