國际空间大学结束了其首个虚拟互动空间项目，该项目的开展旨在解决当前以及未来的流行病危机。
The International Space University（ISU）， based in Strasbourg， France， eventually ended its first virtual Interactive Space Program， or ISP.
ISP is an online development program for scientists in different fields of expertise. It trains them to work together in groups， using space resources， to prepare for space flights and related projects. It is structured to be like a real space mission. About a month before the five-week program began， the groups received training on team dynamics and communication skills. They also learned how to use digital tools for sharing documents， team-building and social exchanges.
Eighty-six men and women， representing 30 different nationalities， took part in the latest Interactive Space Program， called ISP 2020. The participants learned about all areas of study linked to space exploration. Like members of an actual space flight crew， they worked closely with space experts during the program.
This year 12 of the participants came from India， which has a growing space program. Four of the 12 were awarded a scholarship honoring the Indian American astronaut Kalpana Chawla，who was the first Indian-born woman in space and one of the seven astronauts killed when the US Space Shuttle Columbia broke up when reentering Earth’s atmosphere on February 1， 2003.
Just like real astronauts， the participants were asked to complete a simulated space mi-ssion. The topic of 2020， this particular program， is how space—space technology， space assets in general—can help the current and the next future pandemics， to solve the situation. The interactive training also involved practical aspects of space and health crises， including pandemics.
As part of the ISP 2020 experience， the participants were required to perform activities not directly related to space exploration. They had to grow food， cook something， get physical exercise—such as walking a certain distance—and plant a tree. Working with speakers of other languages made them communicate better in English. Working across time zones made them understand how astronauts feel as they circle the planet during a typical workday.
At the end of the program， each team produced a report and made a presentation on how space can help fight pandemics. The university says the presentations were given to representatives of the World Health Organization and decision-makers from around the world.
