Clervoy is the only French astronaut to have approached the Hubble telescope in flight. Along with Jean-Loup Chrétien, he has been sent into space more often than any other astronaut. He will give a lecture at Georgia Tech in the morning on The space station and what is at stake in international cooperation. At 7 pm, he will give a presentation at Alliance Française, Living and working in space.
This presentation will explore all aspects of space travel including incredible power of lift-off engines, weightlessness, a black sky in the middle of the day and the power and the beauty of the Earth. He will discuss work aboard a very complex space vehicle, as well as team spirit, procedures done by robots, space walks, maintenance of the solar panels and the overall risks.
