S\u0142awosz Uzna\u0144ski-Wi\u015bniewski went into space as part of the Axiom-4 mission, and remained in orbit until July 15. Thus, he became the second Pole in history to fly in space and the first to visit the International Space Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a moment that is difficult to reduce to merely a symbol. Of course, the very presence of a Pole on the ISS was a historical event, but there was also substantive scientific work to be done on this flight. As part of ESA&#8217;s mission, IGNIS, Uzna\u0144ski-Wi\u015bniewski carried out experiments that fit into the broader development of European orbital research. Modern space missions are not only about a spectacular rocket launch and photos taken in a weightless state. First of all, it is about precisely planned research work in which every hour, procedure and sample matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His visit to Pyrkon will therefore be a lot more than a meeting with an astronaut. It is an opportunity to listen to a man who has really crossed the boundary of the atmosphere, but at the same time remains a scientist and engineer. Someone who can talk about the cosmos not only through the prism of a dream, but also through the prism of technology, preparation and everyday work behind the orbital mission. Such stories are not often heard. Especially when they relate to a story that happened almost before our eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-lodz-through-france-and-cern-to-the-european-space-agency\"><strong>From \u0141\u00f3d\u017a through France and CERN to the European Space Agency<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>S\u0142awosz Uzna\u0144ski-Wi\u015bniewski&#8217;s journey to space did not begin with a spacesuit, but with electronics, engineering and science of the highest caliber. He comes from \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, where in 2008 he graduated with honours from the Technical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, obtaining a master&#8217;s degree in engineering. In the same year, he also obtained diplomas in France. First at the University of Nantes, and then at the Technical University of Nantes. A few years later, in 2011, he defended his doctorate with distinction at the University of Aix-Marseille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning, his specialization was related to the technologies needed where the margin of error must be minimal. He dealt with the design of electronic systems with high reliability, including the impact of radiation on electronic systems. He is the author of a book devoted to this issue and co-author of over fifty scientific and conference articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For years, he worked at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN. A place that in itself sounds like a location from a science fiction novel or film, and at the same time is one of the most important research centers in the world and a lifelong dream of a whole host of scientists. He participated in the maintenance and operation of a huge scientific infrastructure, including the Large Hadron Collider. One of his most important projects was the implementation of a power control system, which has been an essential part of the LHC since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, he remained close to the space sector. He gave lectures on space systems design, organized workshops between CERN and NASA, cooperated with the private sector and reviewed commercial satellite projects and projects related to the Polish space sector, such as PW-SAT2, HyperSat or EagleEye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This path through science, engineering, electronics, satellite projects and research infrastructure eventually led him to the European Space Agency. This shows that a great flight is always preceded by a huge number of previous decisions, competences and consistently built knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-meeting-that-brings-nasa-and-esa-together\"><strong>A meeting that brings NASA and ESA together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:35% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/pyrkon.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Collins-E-Photo-HEADSHOT-12_21-Blue-Uniform-Anna-Pawlowska-Zygarowicz.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47956 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pyrkon.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Collins-E-Photo-HEADSHOT-12_21-Blue-Uniform-Anna-Pawlowska-Zygarowicz.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pyrkon.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Collins-E-Photo-HEADSHOT-12_21-Blue-Uniform-Anna-Pawlowska-Zygarowicz-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pyrkon.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Collins-E-Photo-HEADSHOT-12_21-Blue-Uniform-Anna-Pawlowska-Zygarowicz-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>During Pyrkon, S\u0142awosz Uzna\u0144ski-Wi\u015bniewski will not only give a solo lecture. The program will also feature a unique Q&amp;A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pyrkon.pl\/en\/program-en\/the-science-zone-at-pyrkon-to-host-a-true-nasa-legend-astronaut-eileen-collins\/\">featuring Eileen Collins<\/a><\/strong>, a NASA astronaut and the first woman to command a space shuttle mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of those events that&#8217;s hard to call just \u201cmeeting guests.\u201d There will be people representing two great chapters in the history of space exploration sitting on one stage. The experience of the American shuttle program and the modern European presence on the International Space Station. NASA and ESA, two different contexts, two different paths, one common issue \u2013 man in relation to the cosmos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such conversations are extremely rare, because it is not every day that we have the opportunity to compare the experiences of astronauts from different generations, different missions and different space programs. It is a chance to learn not only about the technical aspects of flight, preparation or work in orbit, but also about what changes in a person when they look at the Earth from a perspective that most of us will never see with our own eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be a special moment for Pyrkon participants. For years, the fan convention has been alive with stories of interstellar journeys, spaceships and people crossing the boundaries of the known world. This time, these stories will be met with reality in the form of the experience of people who really flew further than most of humanity has ever reached.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These meetings will be an opportunity to hear about the journey from the laboratory and engineering projects to Earth&#8217;s orbit, work on the International Space Station and what modern space exploration looks like through the eyes of a man who has become part of its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want to hear the story of a mission that went down in the history of Polish science and take part in a unique meeting of NASA and ESA astronauts, be sure to come to the Science Zone.
