Queen's NASA Student Touches Down After Endeavour Mission (IMAGE)
Caption
A Queen’s University medical student has returned home from the United States after assisting with preparations for the final ever mission by the Endeavour Space Shuttle. Therese White, who is in her fourth year of Medicine at Queen’s, won a place as the only UK student on an internship at the Kennedy Space Centre (KSC) in Florida. The placement, through the Aerospace Medicine and Occupational Health Branch of the KSC, provides a unique opportunity to learn about the field of Aerospace Medicine at an operational space center. The internship coincided with the preparation of the launch of the final mission by the Endeavour Space Shuttle which returned to earth yesterday. Therese and the team assisted with the medical preparation in the lead up to the launch as well as getting an insight into the emergency contingency plans for any disaster which might occur.
