A choir to set the stage
The big homecoming celebration started on 29 April at the famous interactive science museum, Experimentarium in Copenhagen, Denmark. Both the public and special guests filled the large hall of the science museum, including a 50-person choir. Andreas walked on stage to the sound of music and clapping hands, giving a speech to thank all those who took part and followed his mission.
After the big opening, invited guests, including the minister of Higher Education of Denmark, Christina Egelund, and ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher, went into the theatre of Experimentarium for a series of talks. Scientists in charge of the experiments of the Huginn mission, ESA Director General and Andreas himself gave presentations.
The next day, the schedule was filled with interviews with Danish media, during which Andreas talked about his mission, coming back to Denmark and plans for the future, expressing his hope for a seat on future Artemis missions to the Moon.
