Benjamin Pothier

Benjamin Pothier, Ph.D (international research program of the Planetary Collegium, Plymouth University, UK). An elected fellow international of the Explorers Club (NYC) and an expert for the Human Spaceflight Committee of he International astronautical Federation, he was previously a selected member of the 2018-2019 Euromoonmars campaign of the European Space Agency and ILEWG (International Lunar Exploration Working Group) in order to help future missions to the Moon. Through his participation to expeditions on remote locations and analog astronaut trainings worldwide, Mr Pothier specializes in Life experiences in I.C.E [Isolated, Confined and Extreme] environments and their studies.

Aleksandra Kozawska

Aleksandra Kozawska is a service and strategy designer with experience using design tools and human-centred methods in a variety of industries. She led the design and digital transformation within companies such as Sopra Steria, Fjord and BBVA. Her design education includes UCL, Politecnico di Milano, and The Glasgow School of Art. Aleksandra has also experience working at the European Astronaut Centre as a designer of basic astronaut training materials and an e-learning course for technical experts. She is an alumna of the International Space University, SPP19 where she co-led the "Space for Urban Planning" team project. She is also a member of the SGAC Space Exploration Project Group and Polish Space Professionals Association. Most recently, Aleksandra founded an independent design studio Odis, with a mission of using her design expertise to transform the space industry by introducing a more collaborative, human-centred approach to help solve increasingly complex challenges within the space domain.

Eduardo Salazar Pérez

Eduardo Salazar Pérez is a student of the last year of Mechatronics Engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. His first experience in the development of space technology was when he took part of the team CanSat Siqueiros, for the development of CanSats for the Annual CanSat Contest, held every year in the United States. Currently he is a collaborator at the Laboratory of Space Instrumentation of the Institute of Nuclear Sciences where he takes part of the team that develops stratospheric and space technology.

Alicja Musiał

I am a software developer and a big enthusiast of space technology, currently working on the satellite software in KP Labs. Being a part of the KRAKsat team, I had a possibility to work on the fifth polish satellite, which was placed on the LEO in July 2019. I'm also a part of the operators team of another polish CubeSat - PW-Sat2. I graduated from Computer Science on Jagiellonian University with a master thesis focused on satellite communication and mission control systems. I'm also a co-founder of We Need More Space meetups popularizing space industry topics in Cracow. Beside space, my great topic of interest is general aviation - I'm fulfilling my dream as a small airplane pilot.

Marcin Baraniecki

I graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan with master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience. I’m a software engineer experienced in modern web technologies. I’ve been in love with the astronomy & space since my early childhood - astrophotography is my hobby, but I’m also a huge fan of new technologies & gadgets, always looking for inspirations and new ideas. Despite living in Poznań for a decade now, I was born and raised in Piła, the city where the LunAres habitat was built. I’m joining the mission because I believe my work there will be a significant contribution on the way of inevitable human colonization of space.

Sara Sabry

I’m an Egyptian space enthusiast with a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. During my studies, I gained a deep appreciation for the human body and how it reacts to stress through my commitment towards physical exercise (working as a fitness coach). I have always been fascinated by the idea of humans becoming interplanetary species and grew passionate about using my skill-set to contribute to current efforts. I am planning on pursuing my PhD in Bioastronautics which I believe will allow me to serve my purpose of furthering space exploration and expanding what is known about the universe.
