For the first time, @esa has tested the performance of a lower limb prosthesis in microgravity.

This is a really notable first for human space flight. John McFall; paralympian, surgeon and British @esa astronaut is the first person with a disability to be cleared to work on the @Space_Station Congratulations to John and the team at ESA for all your hard work over the past 18 months to show this is now technically possible.
Good luck on the next ‘Mission Ready’ phase.

🚴‍♂️💫 Cycling into the future of spaceflight!

As part of ESA’s #Fly! initiative, member of the @esa astronaut reserve John McFall put his prosthesis to the test—cycling 🚲 in a -6° head-down position 🔄 to study how fluid shifts in microgravity might affect the fit.

From Paralympic athlete to astronaut. There are no limitations.

ESA Astronaut Reserve John McFall delivered the flag at the Opening Ceremony of the #Paralympics in Paris last night, jointly with French sailor and Paralympic champion Damien Seguin. Always go the extra mile!

A huge congratulations to the new members of the @esa astronaut corps, and to all those involved in the training over the last parabolic flight campaign!

[Gavin Travers @Gav_physiol]

Was a real pleasure to be back with @AirZeroG supporting the final part of the @esa astronaut training last week. The team got to experience a range of tasks in microgravity, including translation and stabilisation, use of tools and equipment during spacewalks, and even CPR.
