After 237 days and over 3,700 orbits around Earth aboard the International Space Station, Sophie Adenot is back on Earth!

Following a handover to Crew-13, Sophie and her Crew-12 crewmates undocked on 7 October and splashed down off the coast of California the next day.

Now back in Europe, Sophie will begin her post-flight data collection and rehabilitation while readjusting to life on Earth after the longest mission in space by a European astronaut so far.

Welcome home, Sophie!
