PHYSICS students in year 12 at Cowes Enterprise College have been reaching new heights, by speaking to astronauts Samantha Cristoforetti and Luca Parmitano, both of whom have spent time on the International Space Station.
They have taken part in a live video conference with the European Space Agency astronauts.
Ewan, Jamie, Shane, Asen, Kiera and Sam won their spot at the conference after they were crowned the UK winners of the European Space Agency’s Moonbase design competition.
They had designed a 3D lunar camp to host future ‘moonauts’, under the team name ‘Project Sequana’.
Creations came from 39 countries across the globe, with 1417 pupils participating.
The Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT) school beat 92 other teams in their age category to win and were the only UK team to get into the top three in any category.
