ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is sharing scenes from life on board the International Space Station during his second mission \u201cAlpha\u201d. Here he gives a quick tour of the SpaceX Cargo Dragon Endeavour that brought him to the Space Station together with JAXA astronaut Aki Hoshide and NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur. The same astronauts, Crew-2, will use the spacecraft to return home after undocking with the Station and fly to Earth for a splashdown off the coast of Florida, USA.<\/p>\n

Over 200 experiments are planned during Thomas\u2019 time in space, with 40 European ones and 12 new experiments led by the French space agency CNES.<\/p>\n
