Have a good flight, Sophie!
As Sophie Adenot prepares to join the International Space Station, Michel Tognini, president of #FVA, accompanied by Jean-Claude GAYSSOT, honorary president, Claudie HAIGNERÉ, honorary patron, and Prof. Laurent DUSSEAU, director general, wishes her a very good flight on behalf of the entire FVA team and the Montpellier University Space Center (CSUM).
Sophie Adenot is flying the flag for France and Europe on a mission rich in scientific discoveries, international cooperation, and unforgettable moments aboard the ISS.
Our amateur radio club #CSUM (#F4KJX) is ready and would be delighted to talk to her if the opportunity arises during her mission.
Twenty-five years after Claudie Haigneré, Sophie is now the second French female astronaut to fly in space, and this is a source of immense pride for France, for Europe, and for all those who are already inspired by her journey.
This mission is the culmination of a commitment, a high standard, and a passion that she fully embodies.
