Since its first modules were launched in 1998, the International Space Station has become a unique laboratory in orbit. In continuous expeditions, dozens of astronauts have lived and worked aboard the station, conducting groundbreaking scientific experiments in microgravity.
During this evening lecture, Joris Robijn will guide you through the history of the ISS, what daily life is like for astronauts, the kinds of research carried out on board, and the future of this international collaboration in space.
