Intense ‘Beyond’ mission for Luca

Italian ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano will return to Earth 6 February 2020, following his second long-duration mission on the International Space Station (ISS).

Luca’s mission – known as ‘Beyond’ – began 20 July 2019, exactly 50 years after the first lunar landing. On this date, Luca was launched to the Space Station in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft alongside Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan.

During Beyond, Luca supported over 50 European experiments in orbit. These included remotely operating a rover in the Netherlands to collect rock samples as instructed by scientists in Germany, and completing four complex spacewalks to repair the cosmic-ray-detecting Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02. He also supported numerous international experiments and became the third European and first ever Italian commander of the International Space Station.

Science and research completed during Luca’s mission will help pave the way for farther exploration as ESA looks beyond the International Space Station to the Moon and Mars.

"The first human to drown in space" would be a sad way to be remembered. Thankfully everybody's training and Luca's calm reaction averted a tragedy.

He's a great Astronaut. I hope that his return to earth is safe

[DanieleGiorgi]

It makes me so proud of Italy and Europe in space progress. Really can’t wait to be a YGT in the next future, It would be an honour to be part of it.

Luca is incredibly intelligent and passionate not only in his work as an astronaut but also as a human being.
His messages on ecology and the critical state we have put our planet in are tough to hear but cannot be truer.

Congratulations Luca, ESA and all personnel involved in this great exploration of space!.

This was one of the most complicated missions of the space exploration in the Iss, but Luca was very good. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE THE ITALY'S HERO

This should be news we should be highly praise around the world! This is one of the important topics for humanity. Not billy running from the police and getting shot 44 times or a Kardashian obtained pregnancy.

E um grande comunicador, um grande astronauta e um líder nato ...aliado a uma coragem enorme e grande convicção que o Homem pode chegar mais longe!! Ele vestiu a camisola por um gosto e engenho profissional ..já está no a anais da história da ESA e do mundo ... como ser humano e como astronauta ...É a diferença que move e que desvenda o desconhecido em conhecido e a paixão que ele transmite pelo Espaço e pela Terra!!

[flatearthclock]

Why does the amount of curve of the earth change from shot to show and from video to video? If the ISS is maintaining the same height the earth curve should never change.

Little (not little) detail; nobel prize was not for first discovery of exoplanet but for first discovery of exoplanet orbiting Sun-like star. First exoplanet ever found someone else earlier. "Nobel for first exoplanet" is wrong and from beginning that was risk of giving false credits to not right people. And here we have exellent example... Even ESA is in this trap.

[prestow]

Wow, people still talking about climate change
