Some of the brightest minds on Earth will talk to astronauts on the International Space Station about their perspective of the Universe, exoplanets and the challenges of spacewalking.<\/p>\n
During the live call from space, three 2019 Nobel Laureates will discuss with the astronauts from the Nobel Prize Museum. ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang will moderate the conversation between two of the Nobel\u00a0Laureates in Physics, Didier Queloz and Michel Mayor, and the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Stanley Whittingham.<\/p>\n
Their discoveries are crucial to the work taking place on the International Space Station.<\/p>\n
This year the Nobel Prize in Physics rewards new understanding of the Universe\u2019s structure and history, and the first discovery of a planet orbiting a solar-type star outside our Solar System. Cosmology and exoplanets are among the key themes investigated by ESA\u2019s space science missions<\/a>, with exo-planet hunter Cheops launching later this year.<\/p>\n The Nobel Prize in Chemistry rewards the development of the powerful lithium ion battery. Jessica will recount first-hand how she helped install new lithium-ion batteries during her recent spacewalk to improve the Station\u2019s power capacity following spacewalks with ESA astronauts Tim Peake and Thomas Pesquet on other spacewalks to upgrade to lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n Luca is deeply involved in several challenging spacewalks to service the International Space Station\u2019s largest scientific instrument. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a sub-atomic particle detector that looks for dark matter, antimatter and measures cosmic rays \u2013 high energy particles that travel through space at close to the speed of light.<\/p>\n The European astronaut has carried out two spacewalks to date to maintain AMS-02\u2019s cooling system and ensure it can continue to provide more groundbreaking science to the scientific community for and its principal investigator Samuel Ting, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976.<\/p>\n All the Nobel Laureates of 2019, who will visit the museum the same morning, are invited to the event. Members of the Nobel committees and general public will be part of the audience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Event programme<\/strong><\/p>\n Friday, 6 December 2019<\/p>\n 15:00 – 15:20 CET(14:00 \u2013 14:20 GMT)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Participants at International Space Station\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano<\/p>\n NASA astronaut Jessica Meir<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Participants at Nobel Prize Museum\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang<\/p>\n Nobel Prize in Physics Didier Queloz<\/p>\n Nobel Prize in Physics Michel Mayor<\/p>\n Nobel Prize in Chemistry Stanley Whittingham<\/p>\n The event will start at 14:45 with a question and answer session with the Nobel Laureates, moderated by Anna Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m Douagi, Science and Program Director, Nobel Prize Museum.<\/p>\n Media are invited to watch the livestream of the in-flight call on ESA Web TV: https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/ESA_Web_TV<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Media registration<\/strong><\/p>\n Media wishing to follow the video call from the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, Sweden can apply for accreditation via\u00a0press2019@nobelprize.org<\/a>\u00a0<\/u>by 2 December at the latest.<\/p>\n No filming is allowed at the venue.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For further information, please contact<\/strong><\/p>\n ESA Newsroom and Media Relations Nobel Prize Museum More information about the Nobel Prize: www.nobelprize.org<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.esa.int\/Science_Exploration\/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration\/Luca_powers_up_for_a_spacewalk<\/a><\/p>\n Terms and conditions for using ESA images: www.esa.int\/spaceinimages\/ESA_Multimedia\/Copyright_Notice_Images<\/a><\/p>\n
