The students were interested to learn about his work with SnT\u2019s CubeSat prototype and satellites. \u201cI gave some insight into space engineering and emphasised that astronauts need to have a Master\u2019s degree,\u201d said Dr. Thoemel.<\/p><p>He also touched on the fact that the next astronaut to land on the moon will be female, an aim that NASA has been sharing since their intention for a 2024 moon landing was announced.<\/p><p>With <strong>over 80 students<\/strong> in attendance across three sessions throughout the day, the topic proved very popular.<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s important for the younger generation to understand that the progress and innovation in technology is important for the development of countries like Luxembourg.
