ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is the fifth astronaut of Italian nationality to live on the Station.  Samantha was previously a fighter pilot in the Italian air force.    

Samantha needs your help to learn about Spirulina.  She will help children to understand the important role of recycling carbon dioxide to produce food and oxygen through video lessons.

Students on Earth will be able to investigate the process of photosynthesis by blowing carbon dioxide on samples of Spirulina algae, one of the first living forms on our planet.
