🚀 Inspiring the Next Generation of Space Leaders 🌍 ClearSpace was proud to support the Luxembourg Space Agency’s parabolic flight day, where 14 young Luxembourgers experienced true weightlessness aboard the Novespace A310 just like astronauts on the #ISS! Luc Piguet, our CEO spoke on the vital importance of #spacesustainability, reminding us that protecting the orbital environment is essential for future generations and for the long-term success of all space nations. 🌌 Standing alongside our Ambassador Celeste Girard and Luxembourg’s space community, we celebrated these young ambassadors whose passion and curiosity represent the sustainable future we’re all building, together. ♻️✨ Luc Piguet | Robin Hilton | Valéry Gineste | Sabrina Andiappane #ClearSpace #SpaceSustainability #LuxembourgSpaceAgency #Innovation #STEM #FutureGenerations #SustainableSpace #EuropeInSpace #AFAD2025 #AstronautForADay2025 #astronauttraining #talentdevelopment
As ESA astronaut Jean-François Clervoy (Officiel) reminded us during the flight briefing, a parabolic flight isn't an imitation of zero gravity, it's in fact exactly what ISS crews experience in orbit, and it's what our space ambassadors experienced yesterday! 🚀 14 young Luxembourgers, selected from 426 candidates through rigorous physical and cognitive tests based on real-life astronaut selection, floated aboard an Airbus A310 operated by Novespace. 🛫 ✨16 parabolas. 20 seconds of pure weightlessness, repeated. ✨ Zero gravity, martian gravity, lunar gravity – they've tested them all alongside Carmen Possnig, Austrian physician and European Space Agency - ESA reserve astronaut, and 26 peers from Austrian and Estonian space agencies. Upon their return to solid ground, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Luc Frieden was present to greet the teenagers in the company of Marc Serres, CEO of the Luxembourg Space Agency, Andreas Geisler, Head of Aeronautics and Space Agency at the FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency and Dr Karin Proidl, Ambassador of Austria in Luxembourg. The emotion reached its peak as parents and teachers watched their young ones be rewarded with an official certificate attesting to this incredible achievement. Congratulations to all of them for their courage, perseverance and dedication throughout this adventure! 👏 These 14 Space Ambassadors will now represent the Luxembourg space industry to their respective communities and work with the LSA on different events and opportunities with the goal of promoting and spread their passion to the newer generations. 👩🚀 A big thanks to our partners from the Ministry of the Economy Luxembourg, the Ministère des Sports, the Ministère de l'Éducation nationale, de l'Enfance et de la Jeunesse, André Losch Fondation, and Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) as well as our sponsors SES Satellites, Redwire Space Europe, and ClearSpace 🙌 #AFAD2025 #AstronautForADay2025 #astronauttraining #talentdevelopment #spacesector Lara Kalanke Darius Ferent
