Returning to earth only fueled her desire to explore the farthest reaches of the cosmos, no matter the cost. Her success with the project secured her spot in the planned NASA Expedition 67 mission. She participated in Project Sidekick in 2015 and traveled to the International Space Station.
Meijier later joined the European Astronaut Corps and collaborated with the NASA Virtual Reality Laboratory. This gave her the first taste of where she longed to be. To earn her doctorate in Geo-Information Science, Meijer joined the ESA Network and Partnering Initiative. Meijer eventually developed contact lenses that overcorrected her genetic deficit while integrating a state-of-the-art AR overlay. She also studied at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. She changed her focus to systems engineering and earned her Masters in Embedded Systems at the Delft University of Technology. Unfortunately, her albinism meant that she had compromised retina and her application was refused. Meijer later applied to become a fighter pilot in the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Encouraged to reach for the stars from an early age, she earned her Bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering at the Koninklijke Militaire Academie. Meijer's mother was the lead engineer on the Huygens Atmospheric Structure Instrument that landed on Titan.
