The University of Leicester has launched a new course which will teach students the basics of living and working in space. Staff at the university have employed former Nasa astronaut Jeff Hoffman to teach the course.
Students will gain lessons on how to survive in space, cope with the psychological demands of long-term space travel, and how to conduct a spacewalk.
Hoffman took part in spacewalks to fix cameras on the Hubble Space Telescope. He will teach at Leicester as a visiting professor.
