Episode #4: "3D-printing in space!" with Mélanie Clozel Your Friendly Physicist and other Nerds
-
- Education
Mélanie Clozel is a scientist at the Institute of Material Physics in Space at the German Aerospace Center in Cologne. Her research is about the development of a 3D printer that is able to print metallic tools in space. This way, future astronauts are able to print their own tools and spare parts, either onboard space stations and spaceships, or potentially on the moon or other planets. In this episode, Mélanie and I are talking about how to realize experiments in space, what it is like to shoot rockets with scientific equipment and experiments into space, and why you always keep an eye on the locations of the reindeer herds in northern Sweden.
Tune in, for a fascinating journey with Mélanie and her 3D printer to space 🚀
