Welcome Home, ESA Astronaut Sophie Adenot! | International Space Station

Welcome Home, ESA Astronaut Sophie Adenot! | International Space Station

After 237 days and over 3,700 orbits around Earth aboard the International Space Station, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot of France is back on Earth! Following a handover to Crew-13, Sophie and her Crew-12 crewmates undocked on October 7, 2026, and splashed down off the coast of California the next day.

Now back in Europe, Sophie will begin her post-flight data collection and rehabilitation while readjusting to life on Earth after the longest mission in space by a European astronaut so far.

Welcome home, Sophie!
