In About Two Days... She Will Dock At The ISS -- And "project εpsilon", An EU Blog -- Will Get Underway, To Daily-Document All Nine Months...


This is good space science fun: Sophie Adenot, the ESA astronaut riding along with/on Crew 12, will have her own perspective / blog / pod-casts made available at the "εpsilon" web site (hosted by the ESA):

. . .ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot will launch to the International Space Station no earlier than 12 February 2026 for a mission called εpsilon.

The mission name embodies the essence of small, yet impactful, contributions.

In mathematics, ε denotes a small quantity, much like an astronaut's role in the vastness of spaceflight.

In astronomy, it represents the fifth-brightest star in a constellation.

Sophie will fly to space with her Crew-12 crewmates on a SpaceX Dragon launching from Florida, USA. The crew of four includes NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev. . . .


Indeed! We will keep you apprised. . . fly safely, Sophie -- smile.
