Earth from space by Alexander
The Station is not only our best microgravity laboratory, but also a spectacular adventure playground.
Alexander performed a set of experiments in orbit with the help of the next generation of scientists, comparing results and working together to protect the planet.
Students learned about the differences between living in space and on Earth. Europe’s ambassador in space triggered youngsters’ creative minds by showing them the world from a distance – 400 km up.
The Blue Dot educational activities aim to stimulate their curiosity and bring awareness of the Space Station as a testbed for future exploration.
Alexander’s lessons from space continue even after the mission ended. Educational videos were released when back on Earth.
