We had mentioned that she’s going to be pretty accessible, in near real time, from the ISS — via her εpsilon dashboard on the European Space Agency’s website. That is absolutely proving to be true.
Here is some of the latest, both in text and YouTube videos at bottom below here [and en française, at the second half of this text box, on YouTube, too] — of her journey, so far:
…During her mission aboard the International Space Station, Sophie Adenot will carry out a series of European-led experiments focused on health and crew autonomy.
Among them is the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device (E4D), a compact and versatile in-flight exercise system designed to support the future of human exploration. The mission also includes experiments conducted in collaboration with CADMOS, CNES’ centre dedicated to human spaceflight and microgravity research.
Alongside her scientific work, Sophie will contribute to several educational initiatives. Through ChlorISS (with CNES), she will grow seeds aboard the ISS while more than 260,000 students in over 4,000 schools replicate the experiment in their classrooms.
Students can also participate in the European Astro Pi Challenge, programming computers on the ISS to collect real orbital data, and in Mission X, where they train like astronauts through science and fitness challenges that promote healthy lifestyles on Earth and in space.
This video features interviews with Tobias Weber, Space Medicine Scientist at ESA, and Rémi Canton, Project Manager for Human Spaceflight at CADMOS….
And, unfortunately, here in the City of Big Shoulders, we’re all socked in, so we will see none of the lunar eclipse at around 4 am local through 5:30 am. So it goes. Same, same in Music City, too. But the High Rockies will be clear as a bell. Ah, well.
