Marie Lambert (France)

Marie is in her final year of a Master in Aerospace Engineering at IPSA Toulouse and an incoming Advanced Master student in Aerospace Project Management at ISAE-SUPAERO (France). Always looking for new challenges and opportunities, she spent a semester abroad at the University of Limerick (Ireland) and studied Engineering and Management at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). Thanks to these experiences abroad, she is looking forward to working in a multicultural environment.

Marie is passionate about Human Spaceflight and Space Exploration and did an astronaut analog mission to the Moon. She also interned at ONERA – The French Aerospace Lab for a few months as a space propulsion intern in 2021 and is now working as a Systems Engineering & Product Management intern at Valispace (Lisbon, Portugal).

Marie was involved in the organisation of SG[France]2022. She hopes through SGAC to meet fellow students and young professionals fascinated about space, share her passion and work towards a more diverse, inclusive and egalitarian society. As a space enthusiast, she thinks international cooperation is essential in the next decades to tackle the amazing challenges to come.
