This book tells the story of the ESA astronauts who have visited the International Space Station and their contributions to its development and success. For example, ESA built the Columbus science laboratory, as well as the Cupola, the Leonardo PMM and the ATV supply ship. But it is the human endeavor that captures the imagination. From brief visits to six-month expeditions and spacewalking to commanding Earth?s only outpost in space and doing experiments, ESA astronauts ? whose personal stories are also told ? have played a vital role in the international project. Many of their efforts are documented in photographs in the book. In following up on the missions covered in this author?s earlier title, In the Footsteps of Columbus (2016), this book highlights European missions from the 2013 Volare mission of Luca Parmitano to his 2019 Beyond mission and includes first flights for Alexander Gerst, Samantha Cristoforetti, Andreas Mogensen, Tim Peake, and Thomas Pesquet. 410 0$aSpace Exploration 606 $aTechnology 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aPopular Science in Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q36000 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 14$aPopular Science in Technology. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 676 $a629.442 700 $aO'Sullivan$b John$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0805188 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910410003403321 996 $aEuropean Missions to the International Space Station$91982568 997 $aUNINA
