Juan Miró , former Head of Ground Systems Engineering Department at the European Space Agency speaks to 5th and 6th class for Space Week!

Today 5th and 6th class were extremely lucky to have a Skype video call with Juan Miró. He spoke to the children about the European Space Agency, the International Space Station (ISS), and the process of becoming an astronaut. The children loved hearing about life for astronauts in space and living on the ISS.


Juan has worked in space programmes at the European Space
Agency (ESA) for 27 years. He has recently retired from ESA but remains passionate about space and likes talking about its contributions to society. He enjoys explaining space and the underlying Physics to young students and interested public.

Juan is Spanish, has a Master in Industrial Engineering by the Polytechnical University of Barcelona and has worked in Germany and The Netherlands. His wife Gabrielle is Irish and they spend now a lot of time in Co. Louth.
