What do you call three or more space fanatics? Interns.
Imagine landing your dream internship at the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), and then being unable to go into work. A group of excellent young professionals found themselves in this situation during the pandemic.
This week, however, 23 of these interns finally got their opportunity to visit the home of Europe’s Astronaut corps. The interns had been working on a range of projects developing tools to support astronaut training for missions to the Moon and beyond. Upon visiting, they were immediately immersed in the centre’s activities.
The group, imaged here logging data into the Electronic Field Book (EFB), experienced some of the geological training activities the centre provides. In dedicated sessions, armed with spectrometers, drawing booklets, microscopes and the appropriate clothing, the interns had to exercise rock recognition through the EFB, characterise samples, and provide feedback.
This geological experience was modelled off of ESA’s Pangea training course, a balanced mix of theory and field trips designed to hone astronauts’ geology skills. This year’s course with ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and NASA astronaut Stephanie Wilson began earlier this month in the Italian Dolomites with lessons on fundamental geology knowledge and skills, and will continue in the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote next month.
However, it wasn’t all work for the interns, who hail from Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, The Netherlands, the UK and Poland. They also managed to meet three ESA astronauts, Thomas Pesquet, Luca Parmitano and Frank de Winne, and visit various EAC facilities being used for training, development and operations supporting the International Space Station (ISS).
From visiting locations such as the Eurocom console, to taking a trip to the Moon and the International Space Station in virtual reality, they got a feel for the broad range of work conducted at the centre.
During their internships, the students contributed to updates of a planetary mineralogical database, improved machine learning algorithms for recognition of minerals, and worked on the development and future applications of the Electronic Field Book – all of which contribute to the bigger picture of ESA’s role in space.
Read their first-hand account of a memorable two days on the ESA Caves blog.

...is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet,
but soon will, and will change everything for everybody,
and nothing will ever be the same again.
As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world
you are writing science fiction.
It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.

Well......Science fiction is one of my favorite genres of books and movies.....
The name NEMO has been used throughout history by many famous authors to describe events and people who find themselves on the border between fantasy and reality. In Latin nemo means ‘no one’ and indicates a world between fantasy and reality. Visitors to NEMO science centre can become a scientist, technologist or technician for a day. Suddenly dreams are real.

The Connecticut Science Center is a nine-story museum located on the Connecticut River in Hartford, Connecticut designed by César Pelli & Associates. It opened on June 12, 2009. The building has a total 154,000 square feet (14,300 m2) including 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of interactive exhibits consisting of videos, audios, visuals, tactile components, programs, and live demonstrations.

He's already back on Earth, but I took this picture of Mike doing some science last week because it looked so cool. On the Space Station we have a tight schedule and all of us are always doing different things. Often we don't know exactly what the other person is doing, and it is a testament to the planners at mission control that they ensure we don't get in each other's way all the time. Think of all the constraints, from power, to vibrations, equipment, time and physical space inside the Station, during the week we were 11 of us it was hectic but we also got so much done. Mike was packing the RTPCG-2 experiment for its return to Earth, it involves growing protein crystals in space that are helping researchers identify new ways of making medicine.
Il est déjà de retour sur Terre, mais j'aime bien cette photo de Mike prise la semaine dernière. Je n'avais aucune idée de l'expérience sur laquelle il travaillait : ça reflète bien notre quotidien. À bord de la Station, les plannings sont très serrés et tout le monde s'affaire sans arrêt. Le plus souvent, on ne sait même pas ce que font les autres astronautes. Au centre de contrôle, nos planneurs travaillent durs pour éviter qu'on ait besoin des mêmes équipements ensemble. Et à 11 la semaine dernière, on leur a donné du fil à retordre ! Alimentation électrique, disponibilité des équipements, vibrations ou même simplement le fait d'avoir assez d'espace physique pour travailler : il y a énormément de contraintes à prendre en compte. J'ai fini par lui poser la question : Mike rangeait l'expérience RTPCG-2 avant de la ramener sur Terre. Elle sert à étudie la croissance de cristaux de protéines en impesanteur. À terme, elle devrait aider les chercheurs à découvrir de nouveaux moyens de fabriquer des médicaments.

The Exploring Earth Science Teacher Workshop 2017 took place over August 2nd and 3rd. Participating teachers spent two days in Shenandoah National Park learning and participating in activities around the theme "Shenandoah Salamander: Climate Change Casualty or Survivor."
This program is supported by a generous donation from the Shenandoah National Park Association and the Shenandoah National Park Trust.
