In 30 years many ESA astronauts took part in Shuttle missions. The list started in 1983 with Ulf Merbold, followed by Wubbo Ockels, Claude Nicollier (who flew a record 4 times) or Jean-François Clervoy. While Roberto Vittori is about to take part in Endeavour's last mission, it's time to look back and remember these thrilling flights.
