Event Details
Northern Ireland's own Rosemary Coogan, one of the European Space Agency's five astronaut candidates, will be chatting to NI Space Office about her journey.
In November 2022, Rosemary was selected as an ESA astronaut candidate. She commenced her one-year basic training programme in April 2023 and attained astronaut certification at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre on 22 April 2024, rendering her eligible for spaceflight assignments.
Rosemary holds two master’s degrees from the University of Durham, UK. She completed her undergraduate master’s degree of Physics in 2013 which focused on physics, mathematics, computer programming and astronomy. In 2015, she received her master's degree in Astronomy, where she conducted research on gamma-ray emission from black holes.
Join us as we discuss her experiences in astronaut training, her favourite lessons, and her excitement for the future of space exploration.
As part of the event we welcome any and all questions from pupils across Northern Ireland!
