Overview
- Sophie Adenot says intensive training has her ready for emergencies, with liftoff targeted for February 15 and an approximately eight‑month stay on the station.
- CNES-led research will collect physiological and cognitive data in microgravity, including autonomous ultrasound procedures and studies of biocontamination.
- An education program will mirror her plant‑growth experiment in 4,500 French classrooms, engaging about 260,000 students.
- She will evaluate the EuroSuit prototype from Décathlon, Spartan Space and MEDES, designed to be less bulky, donned or doffed in under two minutes, and protective in a depressurization.
- Adenot plans to share daily life from orbit and acknowledges likely challenges such as sleep, fresh air and fresh produce, with Raphaël Liégeois slated to replace her after the mission.
