Welcome to a Cosmos Insights podcast, where we talk to scientists in Australia about the impact of their work.
Andrea Boyd knew she wanted to work in the space field since she first saw Star Trek as a kid. The South Australian has ended up in a career as close to space as possible without leaving the ground.
Boyd is the ‘EUROCOM’ flight controller at the European Space Agency (ESA), meaning she’s the person who gets to talk to the astronauts on the ISS.
Cosmos Science Journalist Jacinta Bowler talked to Andrea Boyd about how she feels about being the Aussie ‘voice to space’ and what it’s like hanging out with astronauts all day. and a great video with Andrea Boyd.
