Andreas Mogensen will fly to ISS for six months from July 2023! Send in your proposal for a national research and technology development activity during this or a later mission and showcase Danish space research and technology, the National Space Strategy and green solutions. Deadline: 8 May 2022.
The European Space Agency, ESA announced on 24 March 2022 ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen's second mission to the International Space Station, ISS. It is scheduled for July 2023 to February 2024. Andreas Mogensen will be launched with SpaceX 7 Crew Dragon from Kennedy Space Center as part of an international crew of four.
As part of their mission all ESA astronauts have dedicated time for national research and technology development activities proposed by ESA member states participating in ESA’s Exploration Programme – Terrae Novae. The development of national experiments must be funded by the proposer, while launch, limited download and astronaut time will be provided by the Terrae Novae programme.
Andreas Mogensen’s mission can include national research and technology development activities from other ESA member states, but future ESA astronaut missions can also include national research and technology development activities from Denmark. National research and technology development activities intended to fly during Andreas Mogensen’s mission could therefore potentially move or even be planned for a later mission, if an agreement between the proposer and ESA is reached.
A number of events and activities will support the process. First of all, the Space Exploration Denmark Partnership will host a workshop for potential proposers, where ESA and experienced Danish space experts will provide guidance before the deadline for proposals. After deadline, ESA will conduct a kickoff workshop to guide selected proposals further. Finally, an ESA Payload Integration Manager will guide proposers in their development of selected experiments and activities and help with the integration on the Space Station.
Danish research and technology development activities during Andreas Mogensen’s next mission can contribute to showcase Danish space research and technology, the objectives of Denmark’s National Space Strategy and “Green solutions of the future”. With that in mind, your research and technology development activity should aim to promote one or several of the below aims:
1. The Green agenda and UN sustainability goals
2. Danish Space Research & Science
3. Danish Space Technology demonstration and development
4. Public Relations and outreach in relation to the proposed activity
5. STEM and education in relation to the proposed activity
Get inspired by ESA stories about experiments already carried out in support of the Green Agenda and the UN Global Goals.
The selection of proposals will be made by ESA and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, responsible for the Danish membership of ESA. The selection will be based on:
Full proposals must be submitted by filling in ESA’s Activity Requirement Document (ARD)
