First European Dragon pilot

Andreas will be the first European to take the role as pilot on the Crew Dragon, sitting next to Jasmin, the Crew-7 commander. Andreas monitored the spacecraft’s performance and systems were 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.
