Techorama Belgium 2019

In space you can find an outstanding multinational: the International Space Station (ISS), realized by the United States of America, Europe, Russia, Canada and Japan. André Kuipers was given the great privilege to work in the ISS twice and be a part of this international enterprise.

The ISS is the largest, most complex, international technological structure ever made by mankind. Working on groundbreaking technology which can exist in an extraterrestrial environment enables us to come to scientific insights about our place in the universe, we gather enormous amounts of information about our own Earth and the life our planet sustains. In space technology is everywhere: when it comes to medical issues, communications, transport, energy and even when it comes to exercising!
