Pushing the boundaries of Space Exploration as an Analog Astronaut

Pratibha Pandit Season 3 Episode 2

In this new episode of Career-Calling where I had the incredible opportunity to interview Martina Dimoska, the first Balkan and Macedonian Analog Astronaut, who paved a path for her entire region in space exploration!

For decades, human desire to explore beyond Earth has driven us to reach for the stars. However, there are still only a handful of nations that dominate Space Exploration.  Despite the challenges, Martina Dimoska exemplifies the spirit of determination and ambition that knows no bounds. As an Engineer, Published Research Scholar, and the Founder of the International Space Alliance, Martina has dedicated her career to bridging gaps and accelerating equal access to space exploration opportunities.

Martina's list of achievements is awe-inspiring. From leading initiatives like the NASA Space Apps Challenge as a lead for Cleveland and Mountain View to earning recognition as an Emerging Space Leader by the International Astronautical Federation, she has continuously pushed boundaries and advocated for her region's presence in the global space community.

In our interview, Martina shares insights into the world of space exploration, the significance of being an Analog Astronaut, and how individuals from all walks of life can pursue space exploration.
