Goalball
Your mission: Sharpen your senses to score the most goals and develop your reflexes.
This resource was created by CNES, ESERO France 2024

Reflexes and coordination are essential skills for astronauts and parastronauts. Whether during rocket launch or aboard the space station, astronauts must be ready to react quickly in case of an issue or the unexpected sound of an alarm. Additionally, in microgravity, objects do not fall to the ground but can float freely throughout the station if not carefully managed. Astronauts also move by floating in all directions rather than walking or running on two legs.
Goalball athletes, who compete in an exclusively parasport discipline, must demonstrate the same skills to have a chance at winning a medal!
