SpaceX Crew-2
SpaceX Crew-2 Launch Simulation. Location: SpaceX headquaqrters, Rocket Road, Hawthorne, California. Crew-2 in gear.
As ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet gets closer to launch, it's time to meet the crew. In the words of Thomas: "I don't mean to show off but this crew might have the most combined experience in spaceflight history!!!! (I'm sure the internet will take on the task to do the maths), and more importantly they're the best teammates ever. We had the chance to train in our shiny new spacesuits recently in Hawthorne where SpaceX is based, and we snapped a few pictures. Let me introduce them (and feel free to follow them on social media too). A special shoutout to the awesome PR and media team at SpaceX and Ashish Sharma the incredibly talented photographer who takes most of the cool SpaceX pictures you see all over the internet."Credit: ESA / eyevine

Thomas back in Cologne
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet talks to the press after he arrives in Cologne, Germany, on 9 November 2021 following his return from the International Space Station on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavour.
The capsule transporting Crew-2 autonomously undocked from the International Space Station and after a series of burns, entered Earth’s atmosphere and deployed parachutes for a soft water-landing. Thomas and crew splashed down off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, on 9 November 2021 at 03:33 GMT (04:33 CET)

Dragon fire
Dragon fire.
SpaceXÕs Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon spits fire as it lifts off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, 23 April at 05:49 local time. On board are ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide.
The crew of four spent around 23 hours orbiting Earth and catching up with the International Space Station after their launch before docking to the Node-2 Harmony module, marking the start of ESAÕs six-month mission Alpha.
Thomas is the first European to be launched to space on a US spacecraft in over a decade. The new Crew Dragon ships four astronauts at a time, allowing more people to live and work on the International Space Station doing more research for scientists on Earth.
Alpha is ThomasÕ second space mission, and everything is set to be bigger and brighter. A Russian laboratory module, scheduled to arrive in the summer with a European robotic arm, will offer more ways of maintaining the International Space Station and supporting spacewalkers as they work outside. Thomas will help set up this arm and prepare it for use during the Alpha mission.
Over 200 international experiments are planned during ThomasÕ time in space. Of the 40 European ones, 12 are new experiments led by the French space agency CNES.
At the end of the Alpha mission in October, Thomas will take over commander of the International Space Station for a brief period and welcome ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer on his first flight to space.
