About YPSat-2
When ESA’s Space Rider launches for its maiden flight, it will carry more than scientific experiments. It will carry the bold vision of ESA’s emerging generation. Developed entirely by young professionals across the Agency, YPSat-2 is the latest mission of the Young Professionals Satellite Programme. On board is the payload Angiology in Microgravity (AIM), an innovative experiment that dives into the critical field of space medicine, studying blood flow dynamics in microgravity and its potential risks to astronaut health. From conception to construction, AIM is not only science in action, but also a hands-on mission integrating multidisciplinary teams, novel technologies, and real-world spacecraft operations.
