The ESSKA Congress President Thomas Bauer is proud to receive Jean-François Clervoy as his special guest to give a 30-minute lecture on the topic Boldly Together, Explore and Discover.

 

Jean-François Clervoy was an active astronaut for 33 year serving with CNES, ESA and NASA. His missions included a study of the atmosphere in 1994, a mission to resupply the Russian space station Mir in 1997 and a repair to the Hubble telescope in 1999. Following that, Monsieur Clervoy worked as a senior advisor for the ESA human space flight programme and as chairman-CEO of Novespace which organises weightlessness parabolic flights aboard the Airbus A310 AirZeroG.

Now retired from the astronaut corps, he continues to work as AirZeroG Founder and ambassador, author, inventor and professional speaker. He is member of several organizations for the promotion of space exploration and for the protection of planet Earth.
