🥳Joyeux anniversaire à ma collègue #ClaudieHaigneré, la première Française dans l’espace, médecin, chercheuse, astronaute ou encore ministre, et qui s’est battue au cours de sa carrière pour montrer aux jeunes femmes qu’elles peuvent tout tenter. 👩⚕️👩🔬👩🏻🚀👩🏼💼
Launch delayed to tomorrow due to risk of thunder strike. Kind of reminds me of my launch delays of almost 2 weeks before my successful #cosmickiss mission to the #iss
But no worries, the #JUICE mission will be sweet. 🚀♥️

1st day at school ;) Welcome to my new astronaut colleagues at @ESA_EAC, it is a pleasure to finally have you here in Cologne! / Heute erster Schultag. Herzliches Willkommen an meine neuen Astronauten-KollegInnen hier am Europ. Astronautenzentrum in Köln! @esaspaceflight
Good night from space! Flying from the North Atlantic over Europe & on to Northern Africa & the Middle East until the Indian Ocean. Spectacular views in this nearly cloudless night a few days ago. Always special to fly down the boot of #Italy! #MissionMinerva@esa@Space_Station
Buon lunedì! Bel passaggio senza nuvole sull’Italia, ieri mattina. Nice cloudless pass over Italy yesterday. Yes, even up here we worry about the weather 😄 #MissionMinerva
More and more, robots and humans will explore together. This is Surface Avatar - testing teleoperation of the Justin robot with a slick haptic interface (“force feedback”) and different degrees of robot autonomy. Was fun! @DLR_en#MissionMinerva
Good afternoon Trentino Alto Adige! Passed over my beautiful home region today, where I grew up and went to school.
Il bellissimo Trentino Alto Adige, dove sono cresciuta e andata a scuola. #ValDiSole#Trento#Bolzano#Bozen#MissionMinerva
Epic shot of the Moon, taken by Wang Yaping aboard the Tianhe during the Shenzhou-13 mission earlier this year. Perhaps Wang also has sights on being one of the first women on the Moon, around the end of the decade. Source: https://t.co/TzkGxycrjR

En vol de nuit par temps clair, les lumières des humains dessinent nettement les contours des côtes et des rivages, comme une carte écrite à l’encre lumineuse.
🌆
This night-time #timelapse shows the coasts clearly, humans like to settle along the beaches, who can blame us!
Une couleur assez rare sur la planète : le rouge du sol Namibien.
.
This Namibian landscape, beyond being a study in reds, strikes me as a metaphor or modern times: nature goes one way, and humankind, focused on its short-term needs, follows an incompatible path.

☀️🌍 Parfois dans la Station, la nuit est tellement courte que la lumière du soleil ne disparait jamais complètement...
.
☀️🌍 Sometimes our orbit is never fully shadowed by Earth, and so even at night we still see the sun on the horizon. #MissionAlpha
The China lunar exploration project reports that communications tests between ESA's Mars Express orbiter and China's Zhurong rover in November were successful, seeing data relayed to Earth. More info from ESA soon. https://t.co/erTNyWOdYD
💫🌍🛰️ Stars or cities? Sometimes when the @Space_Station flies in the shadow of Earth the city lights and stars are the only beacons. At first glance it is not always obvious where Earth ends and the night sky starts! #MissionAlpha
📸 Quand on revient de voyage, il faut trier ses photos... j’en ai fait plus de 245 000 ! Je vais continuer à en partager de temps en temps pour ne pas oublier trop vite la magie de la vue depuis l’ISS, comme ce timelapse 🙃 de l'Europe 🇪🇺 de nuit depuis l'espace. #MissionAlpha
200 jours dans l’espace valaient bien 99 photos : voilà une collection des meilleures de toute la #MissionAlpha. Il en reste encore des centaines !
😉
200 days in space deserved a 99 #bestof from the mission. The good news is that there are 100s left to share – more to come!
