Meet our people: Launching and operating ESA projects | ESA Careers Week

Once the preparatory work has been completed, and the satellite developed and manufactured, the next step is launch and operations with a view to ensuring that it fulfils its original mission objectives. The post-launch phase can span many years, often as long or longer than the developmental phase. Some ESA scientific satellites even continue to operate beyond their original planned lifespan.

Join ESA experts working in launchers, operations, mission management and scientific data processing to find out what happens in the final phases of the mission when all the planning and development comes to fruition.

Astronaut selection: tips from Thomas

In 2008, Thomas Pesquet applied to become an ESA astronaut. On 22 April 2021, he will fly his second mission to the International Space Station. In this video Thomas shares how he found his way to space, and encourages viewers to follow their passions as ESA seeks its next class of astronauts.

Nobody is perfect on their first attempt at a task, but Thomas says the only way to improve is to try and keep trying. Though becoming an astronaut seemed a distant dream when he was younger, by continuing to challenge himself and learn along the way he developed the skills he needed to put himself forward and become one of a small group who have travelled to space.

Whatever your passion, his advice is universal: try your best, and if you don’t succeed it doesn’t matter. What does matter is perseverance.

Sélection d‘astronautes : quelques astuces de Thomas

Thomas Pesquet a postulé en 2008 pour devenir un astronaute de l’ESA. Le 22 avril 2021, il décollera à destination de la Station spatiale internationale pour sa deuxième mission. Thomas partage dans cette vidéo la manière dont il s’est frayé un chemin vers l’espace, et encourage son audience à suivre la passion qui les anime alors que l’ESA est à la recherche de sa prochaine classe d’astronautes.

Personne n’est parfait la première fois qu’il effectue une tâche, mais Thomas explique que la seule manière de s’améliorer, c’est d’essayer et de continuer à essayer. Même si devenir astronaute semblait un rêve lointain quand il était plus jeune, c’est en se mettant continuellement au défi et en apprenant au fil du temps qu’il a développé les compétences nécessaires pour se présenter et faire partie du petit groupe de personnes qui sont allées dans l’espace.

Son conseil s’applique quelle que soit votre passion : faites de votre mieux, et si vous ne réussissez pas, ce n’est pas grave. Ce qui importe, c’est la persévérance.
