Become an Astronaut

What’s the Astronaut role in the mission?
Astronauts are going to handle the realisation of scientific and psychological experiments as well as simulated actual space tasks. They will experience 7 to 10 days of isolation as crew-members with our MCC as their only connection with Earth.

Why join the mission?
This mission is an opportunity for students from various scientific fields to put themselves in the shoes of an astronaut in an outer earth set of constraints (confined space, extravehicular activities, use of space suits …) in order to gain experience in this field.
