The International Astronaut Event is a long-standing highlight in ISU
sessions. Members of the general-public will have an opportunity to
ask a broad range of questions of our invited astronaut and obtain
their autograph. We are delighted to announce that Mr Paolo
Nespoli will deliver a presentation on spaceflight and will provide an
insight and opinion, with a particular emphasis on the human factors
involved in spaceflight as humans gain more experience in
long-duration missions in order to prepare for inter-planetary
travel.Paolo visited the International Space Station in 2007 as a
member of the STS-120 crew and returned for six months from December
2010 to May 2011 with Expedition 26/27. Paolo’s third flight to
the Space Station was from July to December 2017 as part of a barter
agreement between NASA and Italy’s ASI space agency.
The event will commence at 6pm, followed by VIP refreshments from 7
– 8pm.
