December 21, 2021
A few months after participating in Mission: AstroAccess's October 2021 flight, PAC's Founder Sina Bahram spoke with Toby Davey of RNIB Connect in Season 1, Episode 1061. Sina shared his spaceflight experiences, his childhood dreams of space exploration, and his perspective as a blind person in microgravity. He detailed the scientific experiments conducted, which tackled challenges in wayfinding and communication in noisy or sightless environments—problems that, while seemingly simple, present significant hurdles in extreme conditions such as space. These experiments provide crucial insights to enhance safety for future disabled and non-disabled astronauts.
