SUMMARY:Aux frontières du cosmos: plongée au coeur des révolutions qui ont façonné l’histoire de l’astrophysique
DESCRIPTION:“Aux frontières du cosmos: plongée au coeur des révolutions qui ont façonné l’histoire de l’astrophysique” \nProgramme \n\n12h45 ouverture des portes\n13h00 introduction par Grégoire Bourban\, responsable de Space eXchange Switzerland\n13h10 présentation par Ersilia Vaudo\n13h30 discussion avec le prof. Jean-Paul Kneib\, Directeur académique de l’EPFL Space Center\n13h50 Q&A avec le public\n14h00 vente et signature du livre\n\nPrésentation \nDe la chute d’une pomme à l’empreinte d’un robot sur une comète\, « Aux frontières du cosmos » (Quanto) retrace les moments clés où l’humanité a percé le voile du ciel.\nAvec la précision d’une scientifique et la grâce d’une narratrice\, Ersilia Vaudo nous fait revivre les découvertes fondatrices de l’astrophysique : la gravitation universelle de Newton\, la vitesse absolue de la lumière selon Einstein\, l’expansion de l’Univers révélée par Hubble\, l’existence de l’antimatière\, et les mystères encore irrésolus du cosmos. L’astrophysicienne de formation nous rappelle que les révolutions scientifiques ne sont pas seulement des sauts intellectuels : ce sont des pas vers l’inconnu\, des secousses du réel qui nous permettent\, à chaque fois\, de mieux comprendre ce monde auquel nous appartenons. Elle sera à l’EPFL le lundi 16 février pour présenter ses recherches\, son livre et son parcours.

SUMMARY:EPFL Space Center - Seminar series: Surviving on Mars
DESCRIPTION:EPFL Space Center Seminar series\nSURVIVING ON MARS\nFuture human missions to the Moon or Mars require sustainable life support systems that can provide oxygen\, water\, and food with minimal reliance on Earth. \nUnlike the ISS\, these missions will face longer durations and greater distances\, demanding far more autonomous systems. Integrating biological components\, especially food-producing systems\, is a key challenge and opportunity. Microalgae are promising candidates due to their high photosynthetic efficiency\, nutritional value\, and contribution to oxygen and water recycling. Current research explores whether ISS technologies can be adapted for deep-space missions and what innovations are needed. A central question remains whether astronauts will rely on stored food or grow their own\, maybe with algae as part of the menu? \nProf. Gisela Detrell‘s field of research is the development of technologies to enable human spaceflight\, with special focus on Life Support Systems Technologies (specially on the use of microalgae photobioreactors for oxygen and food production for long duration missions)\, human spaceflight simulation (for example with conceptual design studies of future human spaceflight missions to the Moon or Mars) and human spaceflight performance (for example with the development of Virtual Reality tools\, to develop and improve training strategies). \nProf. Detrell studied Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and completed her doctorate in Life Support Systems reliability analysis for long duration space missions at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2015. She continued her research at the Institute of Space Systems in Stuttgart\, leading the research group since 2018. In 2023 Prof. Detrell was appointed to the professorship for Human Spaceflight Technology at TUM.
