FROM INNER SPACE TO OUTER SPACE Using subsea to train, live and work in the isolated weightless environment in space! Come along to this exciting presentation at Robert Gordon's College and discover how technology and expertise developed for the oil and as industry transforms human and robotic space exploration- past, present and future! The talk will be delivered by a NASA Engineer/Scientist and former NASA astronaut Carl Walz, who flew four spaceflight missions on the Space Shuttle and Space Station, logging 231 total days in space. Mr Walz is now Director of Business Development for Oceaneering and will discuss how underwater training made spacewalks by astronauts and cosmonauts safe and efficient, as well as how technologies developed for Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) subsea applications have enabled robotic servicing of the International Space Station (ISS) and will enable future robotic satellite servicing far beyond the reach of astronauts!
