ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet snapped this image of Normandy from the International Space Station during his second long-duration mission known as Alpha. He posted it on social media saying “The Space Station always travels from West to East, which is great for taking pictures of my birthplace Normandy. A perfect frame to start the Earth pictures of #MissionAlpha “
Thomas was launched to the International Space Station for his second mission, Alpha, on 23 April 2021. He will spend six months living and working on the orbital outpost where he will support more than 200 international experiments in space.
