After a first Ice-breaker social the week prior we had an amazing training programme from the 25th of January to the 3rd of February. Whilst this training would normally be given at the Training and Learning Facility (TLF) in ESEC-Galaxia (Belgium), this year it was all delivered online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we would of course have liked to travel to Belgium and meet the other teams on the Spin Your Thesis, Drop Your Thesis and Fly Your Thesis programmes in person, the online equivalent provided for an excellent experience. During the week we learned a lot about gravity-related research, took notes from ESA engineers, and even met a veteran astronaut!
