He will spend approximately six months in orbit for his Cosmic Kiss mission. Much of this time is being spent inside the Columbus lab supporting European and international science.<\/p>\n<p>Columbus is ESA\u2019s single largest contribution to the International Space Station and was also the first permanent European research facility in space. In this video you can see the different experiment racks in the module as he flies through, including NASA\u2019s Veggie greenhouses omitting a pink light.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about Matthias and his Cosmic Kiss mission on the ESA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/Science_Exploration\/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration\/Cosmic_kiss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">mission webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Sets\/Cosmic_Kiss_-_3601_videos\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Access the other <i>Cosmic Kiss<\/i>\u00a0<i>360\u00ba<\/i> videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Videos\/2022\/02\/Columbus_Kibo_and_a_Dragon_Cosmic_Kiss_360\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Columbus, Kibo and a Dragon | Cosmic Kiss 360\u00b0<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ESA Space News&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video: 00:06:06 Join ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer on a 360\u00b0 fly-through of Europe\u2019s Columbus laboratory, Japan\u2019s Kibo Module and the Crew Dragon capsule on the International Space Station.
