Rosemary Coogan, from Northern Ireland, is only the UK's third ever astronaut. Her predecessors are Helen Sharman, who became the first Briton in space in 1989, and recently retired Tim Peake, who performed a historic spacewalk 27 years later.
Ms Coogan said last year:"It was a real privilege to get the call - I was incredibly excited.
"So many people applied, and I feel extremely lucky to be in this position and really want to make the most of this opportunity to learn as much as I can and give as much as I can."Also named in the ESA's latest cohortRelated Topics

Do low-income neighbourhoods have the least green space? A cross-sectional study of Australia’s most populous cities - BMC Public HealthBackground An inequitable distribution of parks and other ‘green spaces’ could exacerbate health inequalities if people on lower incomes, who are already at greater risk of preventable diseases, have poorer access. Methods The availability of green space within 1 kilometre of a Statistical Area 1 (SA1) was linked to data from the 2011 Australian census for Sydney (n = 4.6 M residents); Melbourne (n = 4.2 M); Brisbane (n = 2.2 M); Perth (n = 1.8 M); and Adelaide (n = 1.3 M). Socioeconomic circumstances were measured via the percentage population of each SA1 living on | $21,000 per annum. Negative binomial and logit regression models were used to investigate association between the availability of green space in relation to neighbourhood socioeconomic circumstances, adjusting for city and population density. Results Green space availability was substantively lower in SA1s with a higher percentage of low income residents (e.g. an incidence rate ratio of 0.82 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.75, 0.89) was observed for SA1s containing ≥20% versus 0-1% low income residents). This association varied between cities (p | 0.001). Adelaide reported the least equitable distribution of green space, with approximately 20% greenery in the most affluent areas versus 12% availability in the least affluent. Although Melbourne had a smaller proportion of SA1s in the top quintile of green space availability (13.8%), the distribution of greenery was the most equitable of all the cities, with only a 0.5% difference in the availability of green space between SA1s containing 0-1% low income households versus those with ≥20%. Inequity of access, however, was reported across all cities when using logit regression to examine the availability of at least 20% (odds ratio 0.74, 95% CI 0.59, 0.93) or 40% (0.45, 0.29, 0.69) green space availability in the more disadvantaged versus affluent neighbourhoods. Conclusion Affirmative action on green space planning is required to redress the socioecon
