The crews she served on contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, Earth science, human research, physical sciences and technology development. Some of the scientific highlights from her missions include improvements to the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which studies dark matter, growing protein ...
making her the first female, nonmilitary individual to hold that position. She was responsible for the mission preparation activities and on-orbit support of all ISS crews and their support personnel.
This is the fourth time a European is commander of the Space Station, and the first time for France. Thomas follows in the footsteps of ESA astronauts Frank de Winne, Alexander Gerst and Luca Parmitano. Two new crews are set to arrive at the Space Station this month, with a ne...

Phase 3 would involve orbiting of a 20-metric ton space station in the 2010-2015 period, with crews being shuttled to it using the 8-metric ton manned spacecraft. The final plan was approved on 21 September 1992, and Project 921 to create a Chinese manned space capability began in earnes...
continued. The flight trials were intended to prove the effectiveness of manned orbital reconnaissance operations. The program was to take place in two phases. Phase 1 would man the space station using crews shuttled by Korolev'sSoyuz 7K-T-A9spacecraft. Phase 2 would be the operational system...
