French, Belgian astronauts named next Europeans to fly to ISS
Wednesday, 22 May 2024 15:19
France's Sophie Adenot and Belgium's Raphael Liegeois will be the first two from a new class of European astronauts to blast off to the International Space Station, the European Space Agency said Wednesday.
Adenot will join the crew onboard the ISS, around 400 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth, in 2026 for a six-month mission, after which she will be replaced by Liegeois.
The pair were among five new European Space Agency (ESA) astronauts selected in 2022 out more than 20,000 applicants.
"I am very happy to fly first," Adenot told AFP in an interview from NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The 41-year-old engineer and helicopter pilot will become the second French woman onboard the ISS, after Claudie Haignere in 2001.

University of Copenhagen astrophysicists have presented evidence that massive stars can collapse into black holes without a supernova explosion. Their study focused on a binary star system, VFTS 243, which suggests that stars can completely collapse under their own gravity.
