World Space Week 2002 Plans

 

The Space Expo space weeks will take place between 12 Oktober and 27 Oktober. We organize a "Junior Astronaut Program" in our full size model of the European Columbus module (of ISS). We will start with five kids in the ages of 10 to 12 years that will stay for 24 hours in the module. They will act as science astronauts, will do experiments and will eat and sleep there. There will also be a few chat sessions. They will chat with Dutch children about their experiences.

The rest of the period we will have short sessions in the Columbus module, that will take three hours (again with children).

The program is sponsored by the Dutch Space Industry and one of the leading internet providers in Holland. There will be TV-coverage and a lot of magazines and newspapers have shown their interest.
