On 05.09.2023 Christiane Heinicke is guest at the Kulturkirche Bremen. In her lecture she explains how she would like to contribute actively with her work to the fact that humans could survive on ;oon or Mars. Admission is free, start at 6 pm.

 

This contribution takes place in the context of the Science Year 2023 - Our Universe. The funding project "Mars finds a city" under the project management of the Halle-based association science2public - Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftskommunikation is bringing the red planet to us on Earth for this purpose. Seven meters in diameter and printed with original NASA photographs, the Mars work by British artist Luke Jerram has been traveling since May through nine science cities in Germany that cooperate in the "SK WISTA" strategy group Science in the City. The Haus der Wissenschaft in Bremen will present the Mars installation in cooperation with the Kulturkirche St. Stephani from August 24 to September 14, 2023. The installation will hang in the crossing of St. Stephani and will be accompanied by a diverse program of events including scientific lectures, concerts and workshops for school students*.

 

Since 2017, Dr.-Ing. Christiane Heinicke has been working at the Center for Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) at the University of Bremen. There, she leads the Moon and Mars Base Analog (MaMBA) project, whose long-term goal is to develop a functional prototype for a Moon and Mars station. This work is part of the "Humans on Mars" initiative of the University of Bremen.
