Andreas Mogensen next mission to the International Space Station | Huginn Mission
The name of Andreas’s second mission to the Space Station is ‘Huginn’. Inspired by Norse mythology, the name is taken from one of two ravens who serve the god Odin. Called Huginn and Muninn, these two birds sit on Odin’s shoulders and are sent flying across the world at dawn. They return at night to inform him of the many events they have seen and heard. In Old Norse, ‘Huginn’ means ‘thought’ and ‘Muninn’ means ‘mind’ or ‘memory’.
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen is going on his first long-duration mission to the International Space Station. Andreas will be the pilot on the SpaceX Crew Dragon that will carry him and the rest of Crew-7 to the Space Station – a first for a European!
Representing Europe in space, Andreas will carry out science throughout his mission and bring back the knowledge to Earth, for the benefit of humankind.

held og lykke Andreas!
Why didn't SpaceX also take part in this second competion?
A great name and theme for the mission! Thank you for the great videos.
Congratulations to the Astronaut!
Why does ESA use spacex??? They have used NASA and Roscosmos for the longest time and I don't see any reason to change that. Especially to change it to support the worst person alive right now and the worst company in the world right now.
LEGO HAS to make a spaceX Dragon Set, now that Andreas Morgensen is going to be the first European Pilot on it!
I am very excited to begin to see some of the results from these observations.😊😊
The scientists' mind is ever curious and never sated. All the best Andreas and ESA!
Have a nice mission, Andreas! 😉
