Emirati astronaut Hazza Al Mansoori began his second day aboard the International Space Station, ISS, by communicating with the team at the ground stations in Moscow, Dubai, and Houston, and informed them of his daily schedule.
Two live sessions, one via video and one via radio, were organised between Al Mansoori and school students and the public. Al Mansoori answered questions about how the launch to space felt, and about his thoughts when he saw the Earth from Space and the UAE, to which he answered it was the best feeling he got. Students also asked about microgravity and how to cope with it. During the video call, Al Mansoori was at Columbus Laboratory aboard the ISS.
These live sessions took place at Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, MBRSC, in Dubai, in cooperation with NASA, where the audience had the opportunity to ask questions that were answered by Al Mansoori.
