- Description
ESA project astronaut Marcus Wandt during an introductory training lesson with the Surface Avatar experiment.
The Swedish astronaut will travel to the International Space Station on Axiom Mission 3 (Ax-3). He will spend up to 14 days in orbit conducting microgravity research and educational activities.
His training in Europe focuses on the the experiments he will conduct during his Muninn mission.
Avatar takes operating robots to the next level. Marcus Wandt will command multiple robots on Earth from the International Space Station. He will use force-feedback controls to sense the robot touching and handling objects on ground. Several robots will work together to complete complex tasks, which gives valuable insight on how humankind can work alongside with robots on the Moon and beyond.
Marcus was one of the 17 new astronaut candidates chosen from over 22 500 applicants from across ESA Member States in November 2022.
