Astronaut for a Day.
The island of Santa Maria, in the Azores, was once again the setting for a truly extraordinary experience.
Promoted by the Portuguese Space Agency, the 2026 edition of the Astronaut for a Day project took 35 young people from Portugal and Estonia to live a unique microgravity experience aboard a parabolic flight.
More than just a flight, this initiative represents an opportunity to bring new generations closer to science, technology, and space exploration, showing that dreams can go far beyond what we imagine. Exploring the unknown is the first step in building the future.
