Our team and mission

The Space Training Team is responsible for the training of European and International Partner (NASA, ROSCOSMOS, JAXA, Canadian Space Agency) astronauts about the systems and payloads (experiments) of the Columbus European Laboratory. In addition, the Space Training Team conducts specialist training in Robotics and Space Analogues. As well as astronauts, we also train the Ground Support Personnel, or communicators, who support the operation of payloads on board the ISS.

We are looking for talented, enthusiastic interns with top notch multimedia skills (video, 2D and 3D graphics, design) to be involved in exciting projects in support of our work. You might be involved in making videos that will be watched by astronauts on board the ISS or preparing media for training material for astronauts and the ground based communicators who support them. There is always a new challenge, and new opportunities. Are you ready for them?
