First Space Station missions for new ESA astronauts

Watch the replay as ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher announces the first two astronaut missions for the new ESA astronaut class of 2022 on the first day of the Space Council, held in Brussels on 22 and 23 May 2024.
ESA's most recent class of astronauts selected in 2022 includes Sophie Adenot, Pablo Álvarez Fernández, Rosemary Coogan, Raphaël Liégeois, and Marco Sieber. They recently completed one year of basic training and graduated as ESA astronauts on 22 April at ESA's European Astronaut Centre in Germany, making them eligible for spaceflight. During their missions aboard the International Space Station, ESA astronauts will engage in a diverse range of activities, from conducting scientific experiments and medical research to Earth observation, outreach and operational tasks.

Love Sophie's smile! The enthusiasm of our European partners is so pleasant to see. In the US, public complacency towards space is a major factor on why it's taking so long to get back to the moon. SpaceX's Starship will "eventually" change all that. Once you have a vehicle that can take up to a hundred tourists into space for potential trips around the moon or beyond, public enthusiasm should skyrocket (excuse the pun) past Apollo like fervor.

Et sa parle amaricain, quelle imposture cette europe atlantique.

[@inconnu1171]

Les deux spationautes sélectionnés sont francophones mais au lieu de faire une conférence de presse en français pour les présenter ils optent pour un anglais approximatif avec un accent dégueulasse, c'est triste ...
