    Thomas and Matthias astro chats: space photography | Episode 4

    Join ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. In part four of this video series, the astronauts discuss taking photos on the International Space Station.

    Though mission details and dates are yet to be confirmed, Thomas and Matthias are the next two European astronauts in line for flights. Thomas has flown to the International Space Station before, while Matthias will fly for the first time.

    Prior to a mission, astronauts train extensively to ensure they are familiar with the vast array of systems and operations on board. In this video, the pair reflect on the images Thomas took during his first mission and how he plans to approach space photography the second time around.

    This video was filmed in June 2020. At that time, the platform Thomas and Matthias were standing on – in front of a full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station – was the only place at NASA’s JSC that they could interact without face masks. Despite this, the pair were required to maintain social distance at all times as a precaution.

    Thomas and Matthias astro chats: training | Episode 1

    Join ESA astronauts Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. In part one of this video series, the two astronauts compare notes on their journey to date as they prepare for missions to the International Space Station.

    Though mission details and dates are yet to be confirmed, Thomas and Matthias are the next two European astronauts in line for flights. Thomas has flown to the International Space Station before, while Matthias will fly for the first time.

    Prior to a mission, astronauts train extensively to ensure they are familiar with the vast array of systems and operations on board. In this video, the pair discuss how training for a second mission differs from a first mission, the challenges of training during a global pandemic, and how flying to the Station on US commercial crew vehicles may differ from flying on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

    This video was filmed in June 2020. At that time, the platform Thomas and Matthias were standing on – in front of a full-scale mock-up of the International Space Station – was the only place at NASA’s JSC that they could interact without face masks.

  • Mission Control at NASA Johnson Space Center: History and Restoration

    Mission Control at NASA Johnson Space Center: History and Restoration

    “This is Mission Control, Houston.” From this legendary room, America conducted some of its most amazing space missions. This video montage captures the significance of the Historic Mission Control Center at the NASA Johnson Space Center, which has undergone a massive restoration to bring the room back to life as it appeared during the Apollo era. Historians and technicians have made every effort to ensure historical accuracy and to preserve this room for future generations. As NASA looks to send humans deeper into space than ever before with the Artemis Program, Historic Mission Control will serve as a reminder that anything is possible.

  • ESA astronauts training in Houston

    ESA astronauts training in Houston

    Four ESA astronauts have recently been training at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre (JSC) in Houston, Texas. For ESA’s newest astronaut Matthias Maurer, it was a chance to inspect a mock-up of NASA’s future space vehicle Orion alongside Tim Peake and Luca Parmitano, both experienced astronauts. Tim and Matthias have undergone spacewalk training in the neutral buoyancy pool. Alexander Gerst is also at JSC, training for his 2018 long-duration mission to the ISS.

    SCUBA diving in the NBL

    ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen’s latest update on training for his mission to the International Space Station in 2015. Andreas is joined by ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano as they observe activities in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL), a giant swimming pool at Johnson Space Center in Houston. The NBL contains submerged full-sized mockups of ISS modules and is used to train for spacewalks on the real thing.
