"ESA's Latest Mission Takes a Thrilling Spin"
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen undergoes centrifuge training to prepare for his upcoming mission to the International Space Station. The training helps astronauts withstand the high levels of acceleration experienced during ascent and return to Earth. Andreas will serve as the spacecraft pilot for NASA's SpaceX Crew-7 mission and will also become the Space Station commander during Expedition 70. This will be his first long-duration mission after his 10-day mission in 2015.
