  • Luca speaks with European media

    Luca speaks with European media

    Media had their first opportunity to ask questions of ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano in Europe on Saturday 8 February 2020 – just two days after he returned from 201 days in space.

    This news conference at ESA’s European Astronaut Centre (EAC) started at 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT) with an introduction from the Head of EAC Frank De Winne, followed by statements from ESA Director General Jan Wörner and Director of Human and Robotic Exploration David Parker.

    Luca then answered a range of questions about his recent mission, known as ‘Beyond’. Luca answers questions in Italian and others in English.

    The entire conference was broadcast live on ESA Web TV.

    Beyond was Luca’s second long-duration mission to the International Space Station. His first was Volare in 2013.

    Luca was launched to the Station 20 July 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing – and returned 6 February 2020 in the Russian Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft.

    During his Beyond mission he became the third European and first Italian in command of the Space Station, set the record for longest cumulative spacewalking time by a European astronaut, remotely controlled a rock-collecting rover in the Netherlands, supported over 50 European and 200 international experiments and welcomed the first Emirati astronaut Hazzaa Ali Almansoori among other mission highlights.

    (Please note: There were some technical issues about 45-50 minutes into the press conference, in the replay there is some loss of audio quality and loss of audio/image sync.)

  • Luca Parmitano: torna da Beyond

    Luca Parmitano: torna da Beyond

    L’astronauta dell’ESA Luca Parmitano è tornato dalla sua seconda missione di lunga durata sulla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale chiamata ‘Beyond’, il 6 febbraio 2020. In questa intervista al Centro astronauti dell’ESA di Colonia in Germania, condivide alcune delle sue esperienze e dei suoi sentimenti dopo 201 giorni in orbita.

    Questa intervista è stata condotta nella tarda notte in cui Luca è atterrato a Colonia, ed è la prima intervista completa con lui in Europa da quando è atterrato in Kazakistan alle 09:12 GMT (10:12 CET) giovedì 6 febbraio.

    Tra i momenti salienti della missione Beyond di Luca ci sono: diventare il terzo europeo e il primo italiano al comando della Stazione Spaziale, condurre tre delle quattro complesse passeggiate spaziali, ottenere il record europeo per la maggior parte del tempo trascorso durante le passeggiate spaziali, controllare a distanza un rover che raccoglie rocce nei Paesi Bassi, condurre oltre 50 esperimenti europei e 200 internazionali e condividere le sue esperienze attraverso immagini e collegamenti video.

    Una delle cose principali che Luca ha evidenziato nel corso della sua missione è stata la fragilità del nostro pianeta e la necessità di agire ora per le generazioni a venire.

    Luca Parmitano responds to #AskLuca

    Before ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano was launched to the International Space Station for his second space mission ‘Beyond’ on 20 July 2019, we asked Twitter followers what they would like to #AskLuca. In this video, he answers a few of those questions:

    0:00 – Intro
    0:08 – Have you been specifically trained for the visit (yet to be confirmed) of US commercial crew vehicles?
    0:41 – Do you have a music playlist to listen to and a list of pieces you would like to practice on the guitar during your mission?
    1:25 – What was the biggest sacrifice you made to become an astronaut?
    2:04 – Have you missed the space station since your last mission?
    2:10 – What is one aspect of preparation you did very differently this time compared to the first time?
    2:44 – What is your favourite science-fiction quote?
    2:52 – What is the biggest challenge of your Beyond mission?
    3:03 – Is it harder or easier to head off to space for the second time?
    3:34 – Quali sono le differenze tra preparare una prima missione e una seconda? E cosa cambia nell’addestramento per un Comandante della ISS?
    4:25 – Ti capita di annoiarti nel corso del tuo addestramento? E quanto è dura svolgere il lavoro dell’astronauta?
    5:15 – Ti stai preparando a puntino per la Luna?

  • Preparing for the Beyond mission

    Preparing for the Beyond mission

    On 20 July 2019, our astronaut Luca Parmitano will be launched to the International Space Station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

    He will fly to the Station alongside Russian Cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov and US Astronaut Andrew Morgan in a Russian Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft.

    Named ‘Beyond’, this is Luca’s second space mission since joining our Astronaut Corps in 2009.

    Luca Parmitano training for second mission

    This summer our astronaut Luca Parmitano will fly to the International Space Station from Baikonur Cosmodrome.

    The Italian astronaut is currently training at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA, where he is learning Space Station operations in depth.

    His second mission is called ‘Beyond’ and includes a spacewalk and running a rich scientific programme as well as seeing Luca take over command of the International Space Station – only the third time a European astronaut holds this role.
