Copernic Space Ambassadors: Introducing Aya Hesham Sayed

Meet Aya, our newest Ambassador at Copernic Space. A highly motivated medical student interested in space medicine and an aspiring space paramedic, Aya looks to combine her medical knowledge with a passion for space innovation. Her experience ranges from authorizing a cross-sectional study about the correlation between traveling to Mars and personality traits to contributing to many space projects, such as the LBNP importance in long-duration missions at the University of California, San Diego, or the Hamlet project at DLR. Aya has also been a speaker at international conferences in Egypt, Australia, Mexico, and Tunisia. In addition to her vast activity in space medicine entrepreneurship, she was nominated as the first space medicine entrepreneur in Egypt. Her quote of choice is: “If you don’t find a path, go and create one”. Aya’s dream is to lead an innovative space medicine company and to make space tourism accessible for everyone.
