Join us on Thursday 29th April for Uplink 46 with planetary scientist Jacqueline Campbell and astronomer Gaitee Hussain. We’ll be discussing diversity, inclusivity and accessibility for anyone wanting to work in space science, regardless of their background. Jacqueline Campbell began studying space science after a 10 year career as a tube train driver by taking correspondence and evening classes, then began working in retail and as a carer while she completed her Earth and Ocean Science BSc from the University of Brighton. She went on to look for organic signatures on Mars for her PhD at UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory, and is now a Schmidt Science Fellow at the University of Oxford, researching ocean acidification. She is passionate about improving diversity and accessibility in space science, particularly for those like herself who didn't get the opportunity to start on the path towards a STEM career at school. Gaitee Hussain first became interested in space as a child, a self-confessed sci-fi geek. Her first ever computing project at school involved devising a program that catalogued space missions. Gaitee's main area of research focuses on probing the role that stellar activity plays in the evolution of stars and in shaping their immediate surroundings. Her career spans an undergraduate degree in Astronomy & Physics at UCL, a PhD at St Andrews, postdoctoral positions at the Center for Astrophysics in the US, ESA’s ESTEC in The Netherlands, and St Andrews, before joining the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany in 2007. AT ESO, she was responsible for organising calls for telescope proposals, peer review and scheduling, editing The Messenger bulletin, and served as deputy head of the Office for Science. Moving back to ESTEC in 2020, Gaitee is now Head of the Science Division in ESA’s Science Directorate, which includes all of the project scientists working on all of ESA’s science missions, 25 research fellows and several trainees/interns. She also supports the faculty and science communication / education initiatives. Space Rocks is a celebration of space exploration and the art, music, and culture it inspires, in association with the European Space Agency. Enjoy this video?

In 2008, Thomas Pesquet applied to become an ESA astronaut. On 22 April 2021, he will fly his second mission to the International Space Station. In this video Thomas shares how he found his way to space, and encourages viewers to follow their passions as ESA seeks its next class of astronauts. Nobody is perfect on their first attempt at a task, but Thomas says the only way to improve is to try and keep trying. Though becoming an astronaut seemed a distant dream when he was younger, by continuing to challenge himself and learn along the way he developed the skills he needed to put himself forward and become one of a small group who have travelled to space. Whatever your passion, his advice is universal: try your best, and if you don’t succeed it doesn’t matter. What does matter is perseverance.

Georgia Tech senior Breanna Ivey helped test out the mathematics and coding on NASA's Mars Perseverance rover while she was on the team as an intern. Ivey tells CNN's Fredricka Whitfield about the experience and shares advice for students of color interested in pursuing S.T.E.M. sciences. #CNN #CNNBusiness #News

This was a fun interview. Deborah Sass is the Co-Founder of Space Hero, a TV show designed to send the average citizen to space in 2023. Originally from London to a sustainable farm in Ibiza, Deborah has worked her way to success becoming a Lioness in business and brings her SASS to the space industry. Her energy is infectious and I have to admit I have a serious girl crush!!!!

How do you encourage those students who do like science but cannot see themselves in a science-based career? Many students struggle to think of more than a handful of scientific careers so this new animation from the Royal Society, aimed at students aged 11 to 16, aims to demonstrate the wealth of scientific subjects that can be accessed beyond school, and the excitement that a career in science can bring. By having a positive impact on the challenges that face our Society a career in science can bring job satisfaction and opportunities for travel and global collaboration. Of course, we are talking about science in the wider sense so the animation lists maths and computing as ‘core’ science subjects studied in school alongside chemistry, biology and physics. For those students who really do not like science and cannot see the point of studying it, you may want to point them to the first animation in this series: Why science is for me: https://youtu.be/wstW5jy_WAU The study of science is not just for those who want a scientific career, but it is relevant to everyone for their future decision making and information processing. This short animation is a tool teachers can use to help demonstrate that science enables students to gain a broad range of transferable skills useful in many careers

Understanding the laws of the universe is fundamental to flying missions in space. But one spacecraft under Paolo Ferri’s care seemed to be particularly susceptible to Murphy’s law – ‘Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.’ In 1992, ESA’s first-ever reusable satellite, Eureca, was delivered into orbit (and later retrieved) by a NASA Space Shuttle. It spent just under a year in orbit, and presented a plethora of problems from Day 1. While it was ultimately successful, Eureca required constant care from engineering teams on ground as well as hands-on help from astronauts in orbit. As Deputy Operations Manager for the mission, Paolo Ferri explains in his fourth masterclass how this intense period acted as a ‘school’ for him, as he and his team were put under immense pressure by this orbiting ‘box of surprises’ constantly on the edge of catastrophe and mission failure. With 36 years’ of experience at ESA, Paolo Ferri is responsible for mission operations, and he has played a leading role in ensuring the success of missions like Eureca, ESA’s first-ever reusable satellite; Cluster, one of the longest-flying science missions; Venus Express, Europe’s first exploration of Earth’s ‘evil twin’; and Rosetta, humanity’s first landing on a comet. In five episodes of ‘Leadership at Mission Control’, Paolo takes us through major events in his career at ESA, covering cornerstone missions, first attempts, overcoming technical challenges, building diverse teams, working under pressure and solving the unexpected problems that are part of any space endeavour. New episodes from Paolo's Masterclass will be released each Sunday, stay tuned! ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.
