Europe's Ignis Mission: Return to Earth | Axiom Space | International Space Station
On July 15, 2025, with the splashdown of the Dragon spacecraft off the coast of California, the Ignis mission ended after a 20-day space journey. The European Space Agency (ESA) project astronaut Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski from Poland, during nearly 230 orbits around Earth, completed about 120 hours of telework on the International Space Station and contributed to more than 20 experiments from his orbital office.
Following medical checks on the recovery vessel, Sławosz flew to shore by helicopter and then traveled from the United States to Germany in order to undergo a week of recovery at the European Astronaut Center (EAC). Dozens of people gathered to give him a warm welcome at the Cologne Bonn airport.
Sponsored by the Polish government and supported by ESA, the Polish Ministry of Economic Development and Technology (MRiT), and the Polish Space Agency (POLSA), the mission had an ambitious technological and scientific program with several experiments led by ESA and proposed by the Polish space industry.
