Mars Introduction Day
Workshop (Genk) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
Is being an astronaut a lifelong dream of yours? Do you look up at the sky, wondering what is out there? And if you had the opportunity to go on an expedition to Mars, would you take it? During this Mars introduction day, you will find out everything you ever wanted to know about the Red Planet from Nancy Vermeulen, who was the commander of a Mars simulation mission in Utah.
Mars-Inspired Team Building
Workshop (Genk) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
How would your team function on Mars? Would you be able to work together under extreme circumstances, far away from civilization? What can you learn from the survival and communication techniques that astronauts apply in space? Find out, as astronaut trainer and space expert Nancy Vermeulen takes you on a journey to the Red Planet.
High - Altitude Training
Workshop (Soesterberg) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
In a spacecraft, you can breathe normally because the cabin pressure is kept under control. In case of a malfunction, this pressure can drop, lowering the quantity of available oxygen. During this training, we expose you to oxygen deprivation under the supervision of our experts.
High - G Centrifuge Training
Workshop (Soesterberg) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
If you want to go into space, you need to know how your body will react under extreme physiological conditions. One of the things to test is your tolerance to high accelerations, also known as "high - g". During this training, you can discover in a safe environment how much g you can endure. Our team of specialists teaches you how to increase your tolerance to avoid a g - induced blackout.
Desdemona Space Flight Simulation
Workshop (Soesterberg) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
Train like a genuine astronaut and receive your first pair of "Astro Wings". Experience a launch to the Moon, dock with the International Space Station "ISS", learn to land a spacecraft yourself and enjoy the magnificent view! Soon, you too can experience space travel and call yourself a "Space Ranger".
Space Introduction Day
Workshop (Genk) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
Your "Space Introduction Day" has been described by many who have gone before you as a "mind blowing experience". You enter a universe full of stars and planets. The day offers you the unique opportunity to experience what it would be like to be a space traveller and to get a glimpse of the future.
Zero Gravity Flight
Workshop (Amsterdam) by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
Would you like to experience for yourself what it is like to float weightlessly like an astronaut? You can do this on a "zero-gravity flight" or "parabolic flight". Astronauts are weightless in space. To prepare themselves on Earth for that weightlessness, they regularly undertake parabolic flights. The Space Training Academy organizes parabolic flights, including preparation.
Microgravity: living on the International Space Station
MOOC (Online) by Open University · Free · Current
This course will be covering questions such as, how does the International Space Station (ISS) orbit the Earth? Is circular motion involved? What about the forces? Are they pushing or pulling the ISS to the Earth? What would happen if these forces suddenly disappeared? How does a rocket overcome the Earth’s gravity? How has human endeavour in space impacted on other aspects of our lives? As well as GPS and studying the stars, it has also helped us to study the ageing process! The ISS helps us to study Biology, Chemistry, Quantum Physics and even banking and security! There will be interviews with several scientists along the way. But what about the cost of the ISS? Do you think that it is justified? Finally, could you be an astronaut or a scientist?!

Space Medicine
MOOC (Online) by Coursera and Duke University · Free · Current
Have you ever wondered what it would take for humans to travel beyond the comforts of our home planet, Earth? You are invited to join us in Space Medicine - an online experience facilitated by two recent Duke graduates in which you will learn about and engage in the most pressing medical challenges facing NASA and others advancing the future of space exploration. Space Medicine is a free, non-certificate course featuring interactive modules and weekly live discussions. Participants will reflect on questions pertinent to the future of human health in space, such as: - How do humans respond to extreme environments? - How can engineers, doctors, and scientific researchers come together to prevent space related health issues before they occur? - If future generations of humans attempt to live in space, what challenges will they face? - Which evolutionary adaptations to living on Earth are useful to surviving a months- or years-long voyage? No prior experience in science or medicine is required, as life science concepts will be introduced as necessary. At the end of the course, you will have gained valuable experience in applying modern medicine to space-based situations, from space flight to journeying to Mars.
