François Picard is pleased to welcome Alban Guyomarc’h, Researcher in Space Geopolitics at Paris’s École Normale Supérieure School of Higher Learning. As a new era of space rivalry unfolds, the International Space Station remains one of the last bastions of cooperation between geopolitical adversaries. For Guyomarc’h, the latest ISS mission is more than a remarkable technological achievement. “It’s one of the rare collaboration spaces we still have today in a very conflictual era”.
