      It’s really like a dream come true!
      Your work will eventually develop new technologies and help some scientific research which is not possible to do on Earth. This has already produced many results that have improved the day to day life of many here on Earth.

      This is also true for many other scientists, but on top of that we also work every day with humans living in space and we help preparing for the exploration of the Solar system and of the outer space. That’s what makes it really unique!
