Students from Torun, the home city of Nicolaus Copernicus, are to meet with NASA astronaut Stephen Robinson. 

Robinson, who has flown on four Space Shuttle missions and served as a backup flight engineer for the International Space Station Expedition 4, has come to Torun to give a lecture on aerodynamics at the Nicolaus Copernicus University.

He will also meet with secondary school students and tell them about his space travels, including his latest mission on board of Endeavour Space Shuttle in February which aimed at installing and activating Node 3 module at the International Space Station including life support systems and exercise equipment for astronauts.

During the meeting with the American astronaut scientists from Torun and Bydgoszcz will present a self-designed robot for exploring Mars. (mg)
