- Description
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is sharing scenes from life on board the International Space Station during his second mission “Alpha”. Published on his 365th day in space on 9 October 2021 this video condenses the typical activities of an astronaut on the Space Station in one minute. Thomas commented when posting this video:
“A whole year in space over the course of the Proxima and Alpha missions. I’ve tried to put these 365 days... into one minute of video. Or rather to convey what a typical day is, in the life of an International Space Station crewmember One of the best things about being an astronaut is the variety, no day is like any other!”
Over 200 experiments were performed during Thomas’ time in space, with 40 European ones and 12 new experiments led by the French space agency CNES
