An evening with an astronaut Michael Foale

Michael Foale is the most experienced British-born astronaut in the history of human space travel, having clocked over 373 days in space, flown on six Space Shuttle missions and a Soyuz, and commanded the International Space Station. He was the first Briton to perform a space walk, during which he saved the Hubble Space Telescope. Mike was also responsible for saving the Russian Mir Space Station when it was hit by a supply craft, lost power and tumbled out of control. He was recently inducted into the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame. Come and listen to him talk about these experiences and share his stories and videos with you at this event.

Julie prepares student experiments for launch to the International Space Station, taking a winning idea to an experiment that is workable within the microgravity environment of Space. Since 2014, Julie has overseen the launch of 19 experiments to the ISS, with several more in the pipeline. Julie is a Senior Lecturer in Pharmacology at the Centre of Human & Aerospace Physiological Sciences at King's College London.
