Sunrise over Earth's horizon with space station solar array
Astronaut Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency captured this photograph from the International Space Station on Nov. 25, 2016, and shared it on social media.  Pesquet commented, "Sunrises. We experience 16 sunrises every 24 hours on the International Space Station as it takes us 90 minutes to do a complete orbit of our planet flying at 28,800 km/h. Of course we don't notice most of the sunrises as we are working inside, but every now and again I can take a picture."

El astronauta de la ESA Thomas Pesquet llega a la Estación Espacial Internacional

20 noviembre 2016
El astronauta de la ESA Thomas Pesquet, la astronauta de la NASA Peggy Whitson y el comandante de Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky han llegado hoy a la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) tras un vuelo de dos días a bordo de una nave Soyuz MS-03. 
 
Proxima liftoff
 
La tripulación despegó del cosmódromo kazajo de Baikonur el 17 de noviembre a las 20:20 GMT y disfrutó de un vuelo rutinario hasta alcanzar la ISS a 400 km de altitud.
Se trata del primer lanzamiento de un astronauta de la ESA a bordo de una versión perfeccionada del cohete insignia ruso, que lleva casi 50 años en servicio. A pesar de las mejoras, para los tres astronautas ha sido como pasar dos días en un pequeño automóvil. A lo largo del viaje, el trío mantuvo el contacto por radio con el control de tierra en Moscú.
Tras el acoplamiento efectuado a las 21:58 GMT, Thomas, Peggy y Oleg fueron recibidos en la Estación Espacial a las 00:40 GMT por el astronauta de la NASA Shane Kimbrough y los cosmonautas Andrei Borisenko y Sergei Ryzhikov.
Los seis se ocuparán del mantenimiento de la estación y llevarán a cabo experimentos científicos que no pueden realizarse en ningún otro lugar, aprovechando las condiciones de ingravidez únicas de este laboratorio espacial.
Así comenzará para Thomas la misión Proxima, que debe su denominación a la estrella más cercana al Sol, siguiendo la tradición de bautizar las misiones de astronautas franceses con nombres de estrellas y constelaciones. 
 
 
Esta misión se enmarca en los planes de la ESA de utilizar la estación como un lugar donde vivir y trabajar en favor de la sociedad europea, aprovechando la experiencia para preparar futuros viajes de exploración más allá del Sistema Solar.
Thomas realizará más de 50 experimentos científicos para la ESA y para la agencia espacial francesa CNES, y participará en numerosas actividades de investigación para otros socios de la estación.
Se trata de la novena misión de larga duración para un astronauta de la ESA; además, Thomas es el último de los astronautas de la promoción 2009 de la agencia en viajar al espacio. Antiguo piloto comercial, es también el primer francés en visitar la ISS desde que Léopold Eyharts, también de la ESA, ayudara a instalar el módulo europeo Columbus en 2008.
Los recién llegados pasarán seis meses en el espacio antes de volver a la Tierra a bordo de la Soyuz MS-03 y aterrizar en las estepas de Kazajistán. El astronauta de la ESA Paolo Nespoli, que trabaja como reserva en esta misión, ya se está preparando para volar en 2017, poco después del regreso de Thomas.

ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet arrives at the International Space Station

19 November 2016
ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and Roscosmos commander Oleg Novitsky docked with the International Space Station today after a two-day flight in their Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft. 
 
Proxima liftoff
 
The trio was launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan 17 November at 20:20 GMT and enjoyed a routine flight to catch up with the Space Station 400 km up.
This was the first launch of an ESA astronaut on an upgraded version of the workhorse spacecraft that has been in service for almost 50 years. Despite the modernisation, for the crew it was like spending two days in a small car. Throughout the journey the astronauts kept in radio contact with Moscow ground control.
After docking at 21:58 GMT, Thomas, Peggy and Oleg were welcomed aboard the Space Station at 00:40 GMT by NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough and cosmonauts Andrei Borisenko and Sergei Ryzhikov.
The six will maintain the Station and work on scientific experiments that cannot be done anywhere else, exploiting the weightlessness that is unique to the space laboratory.
This marks the start of Thomas’s Proxima mission, named after the closest star to the Sun – continuing a tradition of naming missions with French astronauts after stars and constellations. 
 
 
 
The mission is part of ESA’s vision to use Earth-orbiting spacecraft as a place to live and work for the benefit of European society while using the experience to prepare for future voyages of exploration further into the Solar System.
Thomas will perform about 50 scientific experiments for ESA and France’s CNES space agency, as well as take part in many research activities for the other Station partners.
This is the ninth long-duration mission for an ESA astronaut and Thomas is the last of ESA’s 2009 recruits to fly into space. A former airline pilot, he is the first French astronaut to visit the Station since ESA’s Léopold Eyharts helped to install Europe’s Columbus module in 2008.
The new arrivals will spend six months in space before returning in Soyuz MS-03 to land in the steppes of Kazakhstan. ESA’s Paolo Nespoli, backup on this mission, is readying himself for launch in 2017 shortly after Thomas returns.

    Human spaceflight and robotic exploration image of the week: Soyuz rocket ready to launch ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet to the Space Station
    On Thursday, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and Roscosmos commander Oleg Novitsky will take a lift to the top of this 50 m-tall rocket, climb aboard and wait for the trip of a lifetime. At 20:20 GMT the engines will ignite and propel the trio 1640 km in less than 10 minutes – averaging a 50 km/h increase every second for nine minutes.
    The Soyuz launcher delivers 26 million horse-power to reach an orbital speed of 28 800 km/h – but its journey starts on a train: the rocket is rolled to the launch pad by rail from the assembly building.
    The rocket was moved into its upright position yesterday surrounded by its support structure.
    Despite the enormous power and acceleration, Thomas, Peggy and Oleg will take two days to catch up with the International Space Station flying overhead. They are scheduled to dock with it at 22:00 GMT on 19 November.
    Read more about their launch and the Proxima mission on the minisite.
    Watch the launch and docking live via the web and follow @esaspaceflight on Twitter for updates.

ESA : Final exams prepare Thomas Pesquet for launch .- Los exámenes finales se preparan para el lanzamiento de Thomas Pesquet

Final exams prepare Thomas Pesquet for launch

12 October 2016
With a launch planned for the early morning of 16 November, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson and Roscosmos commander Oleg Novitsky face a busy schedule of Soyuz exams this month.
 
Soyuz MS-03 crew

The trio will be flying to the International Space Station on a new model of Soyuz ferry designated MS. The MS stands for ‘modernised systems’ and this will be the third launch of the lighter, upgraded Soyuz. A new spacecraft means new flight procedures, so Oleg, Thomas and Peggy have more homework than usual to master the controls.
They passed their first test on 6 October with a manual reentry exam, piloting the craft back to Earth safely in a simulation. 
Thomas is the flight engineer, sitting on the left of commander Oleg and acting as co-pilot for launch and return.
On 13 October the trio will enact a rendezvous and docking with the Space Station in their simulator at Star City near Moscow.
These exams are as faithful to the real thing as possible – everything except the weightlessness, the Station and movement is recreated. The instructors invariably programme emergency scenarios into the mix to make sure the astronauts react accordingly and show they know their stuff.
 
Thomas Pesquet training in Soyuz simulator
 
After their second test, the trio have 10 days to prepare for the last stretch: in three days they must pass another rendezvous simulation and an exam on the Station’s Russian segment, ending with the final Soyuz qualification exam on 25 October.
That last exam will see them work through a complete launch and docking dressed in the Sokol suits they will wear in space. To begin, commander Oleg will choose an unmarked envelope that contains the emergency scenarios that will be played out – from a fire in the spacecraft to loss of pressure or problems with the docking mechanism.
 

Afterwards, Oleg, Peggy and Thomas will pay a traditional tribute to fallen cosmonauts at Moscow’s Red Square before heading to the launch site at Baikonur in Kazakhstan.
Thomas says, “These are exciting times and I am privileged to be working with the best instructors and crewmates who inspire confidence at every step of the journey. I cannot wait to be launched be into space with Oleg and Peggy.”
 
Mission Proxima
Thomas’s Proxima mission includes more than 50 experiments for ESA and France’s CNES space agency, plus many more for Station partners. Read more about the experiments via the list on the left.
Thomas is keen on sharing his experience in the run up to launch and his adventure in space – follow him and the mission via thomaspesquet.esa.int and watch the launch live on the ESA website.
