Alexander Shaenko, a member of the Frontiers of Science Guild, will speak at the Summer Space School at the IKI RAS

From July 26 to August 3, the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) will host the Summer Space School, an annual educational event bringing together young researchers, students and anyone interested in astronautics and astrophysics. The school's program includes more than 100 lectures, master classes and practical exercises from leading industry experts.

Among the speakers are well—known popularizers of science Vladimir Surdin, Alexey Semikhatov, Boris Stern, as well as cosmonaut pilot, Hero of the Russian Federation Mikhail Kornienko. Lectures and workshops will be conducted by representatives of leading scientific institutes.: IKI RAS, Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, GEOHI RAS, MIIGAiK, Skoltech, as well as employees of rocket and space industry enterprises and private space companies.

Alexander Shayenko, a member of the Frontiers of Science Guild, founder and head of the Photobioreactor project, will take part in the school's work. He will give two lectures.:

• "Thermal management systems" — July 29;
• "Practical work on high-intensity cultivation of microalgae in a photobioreactor of the 435nm project" — July 30.

Both topics are related to key areas of space research: crew life support and engineering solutions for operating equipment in extreme conditions.

The Summer Space School traditionally gathers young scientists, engineers and students seeking to deepen their knowledge in the field of space science and technology. The detailed program of the event is published on the school's official website.
