Campus news ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will visit the Technical University of Munich (TUM) on Thursday, June 2. Beginning at 17:00 in the lecture hall MW 1801 of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, she will report on her time in the International Space Station (ISS). For Cristoferetti this is, so to speak, a home game: She studied aerospace engineering at TUM from 1996 to 2001. Samantha Cristoforetti took off for the ISS in November 2014 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and remained in space for a total of 199 days and 17 hours. With that, the native of Italy holds the record for long-duration spaceflight by a woman. She will talk about her experiences on Thursday, June 2, at 17:00 in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in lecture hall MW 1801. Cristoforetti herself studied aerospace engineering there from 1996 to 2001.
