Question: Do you help when astronauts come down from space?

Andrea Boyd answered on 17 Jun 2016:

Yes – on the technical side not the medical side – the Eurocoms organise their science and operations team post flight debriefing meetings for Europe so we can have a conversation officially with Astronauts and each of the Ground teams and ask questions that we have and write down their feedback to learn lessons and make missions even better for future astronauts. I organised Alex and Samantha’s European debriefs and it is a big job. Another colleague is organising Tim’s.
