The E-learning session is currently scheduled as an "Earth-based" lecture during which there will be a live audio/video link-up with ESA astronaut, Thomas Reiter, on board the ISS. The lecture will be presented to European university students following the EuMAS Masters Program in Aeronautics and Space by Dr. Hubertus Thomas of the Max-Planck-Institute in Garching, Germany. The lecture will be on plasma crystals and complex plasmas, with reference to the Plasma Crystal Research on the ISS (PK-3+ experiment) that will be performed during the Astrolab mission.
During the live link-up with the ISS, Thomas Reiter will demonstrate the PK-3+ hardware, and the students will have to possibility to put questions to Thomas Reiter in real time and receive feedback.
