Saying “see you in space” from quarantine to my @esa colleague @astro_marcus.
Marcus will fly to the ISS in early 2024. His mission is called Muninn, which is the second of Odin’s two ravens, together with Huginn. What better name for two Scandinavians in space together 🚀
https://twitter.com/Astro_Andreas/status/1701654337154339172Congratulations @astro_marcus!🧑🚀🇸🇪
I am looking forward to seeing you and the Axiom-3 crew arrive in the new year!
#Huginn and #Muninn will fly together and learn more about our world from above 👨🚀
It will be the first time two Scandinavians are in space together 🇸🇪 🇩🇰

Wearing a spacesuit and a big smile, ESA project astronaut Marcus Wandt trains inside a SpaceX Dragon vehicle in California, USA. Marcus is preparing for his Axiom 3 Mission (Ax-3) to the International Space Station, scheduled to launch no earlier than 10 January 2024, European time.
“The inside of the spacecraft has the smell of a new car,” Marcus says. The Swedish astronaut was used to the warm smell inside the cockpit of fighter jets, where he has flown as a military fighter and test pilot over the last two decades.

Pranet-Algalspace
Propolis extract is a natural product from bees, called "bee glue," used for hive construction and maintenance, which is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. The first part of this research project, called Pranet, is a STEM project led by 13 and 14-year-old students aiming to investigate the effect of propolis extract on bacteria in microgravity. If the experiments prove that propolis extract can exhibit anti-microbial properties in space, this could open avenues for future research on new and natural product-based cleaning agents for future spaceflight applications.
The second part of this project, called Algalspace, includes conducting a comparative study of Antarctic and temperate microalgae cultivation under the conditions in space. The information gathered will help make a valuable contribution to studies aiming to provide sustainable bioregenerative life support systems for space missions.

The #Ax3 crew are all experienced pilots, but they still need to be aware of their responses to changes in atmospheric pressure.
