European Space Agency astronaut, on board the ISS đ°ïž for #Δpsilon.
#Crew12. ISS Expedition 74/75.
French air and space force helicopter đ test pilot.
Day 113, orbit 1753 â I love robotic operations! đŠŸ In this timelapse, controllers on the ground are repositioning Dextre, our robotic handyman currently installed at the end of the Canadarm2. They used Dextre to unload equipment from the unpressurised Dragon trunk. Such a beautiful choreography to watch with Earth in the background!
Dextre is designed for delicate tasks and is attached to one end of Canadarm2 (the same robotic arm that we use to capture visiting cargo vehicles). Dextre is very often used to place scientific experiments outside of the ISS.
Go science! Go robotics!
Congratulations to the @csa_asc đšđŠ for enabling these robotic systems!

Day 111, orbit 1722 â In this timelapse, Iâm working on an experiment called DNA Therapeutics in the Life Science Glovebox located in the Kibo module. Iâm handling blood stem cell samples as part of research exploring the idea of producing large amounts of clinical grade stem cells in space. The goal is to improve their quality, which could help advance treatments for blood disorders and cancer.
Go science, and go cancer research!

Day 110, orbit 1705 â We put water, we shampoo, we rinse, then we let it air dry⊠On paper, there isnât much difference between washing your hair in space or on Earth! In realityâŠ

Day 109, orbit 1691 â So happy to see my little plants đ± growing as part of the @CNES ChlorISS experiment!
More than 260,000 students also took part in this educational project from their classrooms, exploring the influence of light and the effects of gravity on plant growth.
I hope the students had a great time, enjoyed learning about the scientific method and that ChlorISS sparked their curiosity.
Congratulations to everyone đ and a big thank you to all the teachers who embarked on this adventure!
This timelapse video shows the very first step of the experiment: watering each substrate to trigger germination.
đ Special thanks to all the teams behind #ChlorISS: CNES, Sorbonne University, the French Ministry of Education, the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty, and ESA!
