Astronauts Visit

Dr Rhea Seddon 3 times NASA astronaut visited Lord Lawson School on 17th June 09.  She presented to 250 year 10 and 12 science students. 

She was a very charismatic and inspirational speaker, who gave a great insight into the life of an astronaut.

She showed personal footage of her time on flight STS- 40 Columbia which was a 9 day mission to discover how humans, animals and cells respond to microgravity and how they readapt back on Earth. The mission was completed in 146 orbits of Earth spending a total of 218 hours in space.

 

A fantastic morning!
