First European Dragon pilot

Andreas will be the first European to take the role as pilot on the Crew Dragon, where he will sit next to Jasmin, the Crew-7 commander. Andreas will monitor the spacecraft’s performance and systems are working as expected during the flight to the Space Station, like a copilot in an aircraft.

“It is an honour to be the pilot of Crew Dragon, with our international partners showing their trust in ESA and my work,” says Andreas.
