For example, during one of the modules, the pupils have to hammer nails into planks or assemble PVC pipes underwater while experiencing weightlessness. If they were to drop these materials in space, they would be lost forever or pose a major hazard to the ISS. During another module, they have to retrieve a hose underwater, blow it clear, and then quickly exhale the air from their lungs into jerry cans to make them float.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Snorkelling is also covered to simulate weightlessness. Pupils perform various exercises that you could also do in space, such as doing a forward roll or rotating around the longitudinal axis. In addition, they perform rotations around the body axes and swim on their backs underwater while rotating their body axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Girls' Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Alongside the Stars Project, we also take part in Girlsday, where girls aged 10 to 15 get hands-on experience of technical professions. In this way, we want to encourage not only sportsmanship, but also technical skills among young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
