At the end of October, German astronaut Hans Schlegel was our guest
in Weil der Stadt.
In 1993 he made his first spaceflight onboard Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-55). 15 years later, Hans Schlegel flew onboard Space Shuttle Atlantis
to the International Space Station and helped to install the ESA Columbus module.
Been In Space arranged a public lecture at the planetarium in Mannheim, where he talked about his spaceflight experiences to more than 150 visitors.
