Zur Riege der neuen #Astronaut​en der European Space Agency gehört John McFall – als erster Mensch mit #Behinderung. Im Projekt "#Parastronaut fly!" erarbeitet er mit der #ESA, welche Herausforderungen Menschen mit körperlicher Behinderung im All haben, um entsprechende Vorbereitungen zu treffen.

"How would a physical disability affect an astronaut's performance in space? We don't know, but ESA is taking the first step in finding out. It would appear that space truly is the last frontier. " #Parastronaut @TheConversationUS https://phys.org/news/2022-12-world-parastronaut-space-day.html

The European Space Agency (ESA) unveiled its newest recruits on Wednesday, with two women and three men and the world's first "parastronaut" making up the new class.

According to the ESA, no major Western agency has ever sent a "parastronaut" to space. 

The new class includes "astronauts with a physical disability" that "will start a 12-month basic training at ESA's European Astronaut Center in spring 2023," the agency said.

So excited for a #parastronaut announcement at #CM22

A few weeks ago, I met with the newly-formed @esa@twitter.com Parastronaut Topical Team at @Aerobility@twitter.com to discuss research needs in order to fly career astronauts with disabilities 🚀

We're just getting started! #spaceforeveryone ✨️
