Sophie Adenot Prepares for Historic First Mission to International Space Station

European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot is set to embark on her inaugural space mission, named epsilon, with a launch to the International Space Station. After extensive training that included emergency procedures and simulations for spacewalks, the countdown for her flight has officially begun.

Adenot will be joining a diverse crew of astronauts from NASA and Roscosmos on the mission, where they will collaborate in space. While aboard the ISS, she will not only adapt to living in a microgravity environment but also engage in a variety of scientific experiments, many spearheaded by European and French researchers, aimed at enhancing our understanding of life both on Earth and beyond.

The launch event will be streamed live on YouTube, allowing viewers to witness this significant moment in space exploration.
