Thomas PESQUET, ESA astronaut

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (Toulouse, France), Thomas Pesquet first worked as an aerospace engineer in Spain and for the French space agency (CNES) before becoming an airline pilot. In 2009, he was the youngest of the six Europeans selected to form the new class of ESA astronauts.

After an intense training in Europe, North America, Russia and Japan, he launched from Baikonur on November 17, 2016. He took part in an international crew composed of scientists, engineers and pilots. After 196 days in space, he returned to Earth in June 2017. Between his two missions, he flew Novespace’s Zero-G parabolic aircraft for space agencies to run experiments in weightlessness.

For his second mission, Alpha (April – November 2021), he travelled the International Space Station (ISS) on the second SpaceX Crew Dragon, Crew-2, as the first European launching from the U.S. since a decade. The mission lasted 199 days and saw Thomas Pesquet break two impressive European records: most cumulative time spent in space and most time spent spacewalking. He also became the first French commander of the ISS.

During his two ISS missions, Thomas Pesquet worked on hundreds of scientific experiments in the Station’s cutting-edge laboratories in a variety of fields from neurology to biology and took part in the maintenance of the spaceship, orbiting at 28000 km/h. On his free time, he took advantage of the wide audience enabled by the power of social networks to keep the public updated on his missions and alert them to the dangers of global warming. He is FAO Goodwill Ambassador
