Another key focus was studying human factors related to the female body under semi-extreme conditions. This research helps close the data gap in understanding how #space missions affect #women — a critical issue given that only 1 in 10 #astronauts is female 👩‍🚀

Among these was the deployment of a calibration site for radar altimeters onboard #EarthObservation satellites 🛰️, funded by the European Space Agency @esa.int

It is a step forward in improving calibration techniques, and advancing towards how satellite calibration could work beyond Earth 🪐
