European Astronaut Sophie Adenot: Training | International Space Station

European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sophie Adenot began her training at the European Astronaut Center (EAC) in Cologne, Germany, where she studied spacecraft systems and crew operations—learning to think and act as an astronaut. Alongside this, she conditioned her body for spaceflight and prepared for the physical and operational demands of her mission.

Her preparation includes continuous medical training and support, neutral buoyancy training for spacewalks and immersive virtual reality sessions at ESA’s XR Lab.

This video features interviews with Bimba Hoyer, Flight Surgeon at ESA; Hervé Stevenin, Head of EVA & Parabolic Flight Training Unit and Head of the Neutral Buoyancy Facility; and Lionel Ferra, Software and Artificial Intelligence Team Leader at ESA.
