On 18 August, ESA astronaut @Soph_astro will take her first spacewalk. A remarkable moment for Sophie, for @esa, and for all those who believe that space exploration is an undeniable part of our future.
The @Space_Station has shown what Europe can achieve when we invest in human exploration and work with international partners. But the Station is not the final destination. It is part of the journey.

Our next great horizon is the Moon. And eventually Mars.

As Sophie steps outside, let us celebrate not only her milestone, but the future it foreshadows.

From low Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond, Europe should not simply watch the next chapter of human exploration unfold. We should help write it.

"Toute activité dans l'espace est un danger" : pourquoi l'astronaute française Sophie Adenot va prendre de tels risques en dehors de l'ISS
Benjamin Pierret publié le 18/ 08/2026 à 10:46

Sophie Adenot assure ce mardi 18 août une mission extravéhiculaire sur l'ISS. L'astronaute française doit mener à bien une opération de réparation qui n'est pas sans risques.

Il sera 14h35 précises, cet après-midi, quand l'astronaute française Sophia Adenot va quitter la Station spatiale internationale pour 6h30 de face à face avec le cosmos, à 400 km de la Terre. Elle deviendra la première française a effectuer une sortie extravéhiculaire en scaphandre dans l'espace, dans le cadre de cette mission qui n'a rien d'un exercice de tourisme : la scientifique de 44 ans va assurer une opération de maintenance.

"Il y a une antenne de liaison qui est en panne et qui doit être remplacée" sur l'ISS, explique sur RTL Lionel Suchet, directeur général du Centre national d'études spatiales. "C'est pour remplacer des éléments qui sont usés ou qui sont abîmés qu'on fait ces sorties, et c'est ce que va faire Sophie aujourd'hui en remplaçant une antenne de transmission entre la station et le sol."

Car comme toute machine, la Station spatiale internationale a besoin d'entretien : "Il y a des choses qui tombent en panne et de temps en temps, il faut réparer. Quand c'est à l'intérieur, évidemment, c'est plus facile. Mais quand il y a des éléments qui ne sont pas accessibles de l'intérieur, il faut faire ces sorties." Une autre est d'ailleurs prévue dans une semaine, cette fois pour faire de la "maintenance préventive".

"On a à changer des câbles, des connecteurs de façon régulière. Ça, c'est prévu. Et puis parfois il y a des choses qui tombent en panne, il faut sortir et c'est moins prévu. Et on se prépare au sol à répondre à ces besoins pour maintenir la station en permanence en bon état de fonctionnement."

"Un moment de sidération pendant quelques secondes"

Une préparation physique mais également mentale. Car se retrouver face à l'immensité du cosmos n'a rien d'anodin. "Vous vous retrouvez dans une ambiance que vous n'avez jamais vécue (...) Quand vous ouvrez le sas de sortie, vous vous retrouvez vraiment en flottaison libre à l'extérieur de la station, c'est un moment tout à fait particulier et beaucoup d'astronautes vivent un moment de sidération pendant quelques secondes. Il faut vraiment une force psychologique pour se remettre au travail dans cette situation, pour revenir à la réalité, si on peut dire, pour se mettre au travail, tellement le moment est exceptionnel quand vous ouvrez la porte du sas qui ouvre vers l'extérieur de la station."

D'autant que l'exercice n'est pas sans risques : "Toute activité dans l'espace est un danger", rappelle le spécialiste. "Un scaphandre, c'est un vaisseau spatial à part entière ; il peut tomber en panne, il peut y avoir des problèmes dans le scaphandre, c'est déjà arrivé. On peut recevoir un micrométéorite qui fait une dépressurisation du scaphandre, c'est possible. Tout peut arriver, et c'est pourquoi toutes les procédures sont prêtes pour rentrer rapidement dans le sas, repressuriser, revenir vers la station."

En outre, les sorties se font toujours à deux : "Il y a toujours deux astronautes qui sont à l'extérieur, qui sont suivis par d'autres astronautes à l'intérieur de la station en permanence et depuis le sol, bien évidemment. Donc, tout est prêt pour répondre à un problème." Lors de cette sortie, Sophie Adenot sera accompagnée par l'astronaute américain Anil Menon.

Stubborn bolts, a #DIY battle even in space 🔩
Spacewalkers @Soph_astro and @astro_anil worked out together their own bolt trick: taking turns for a few extra twists each.
Four bolts need to come out to remove a failed space-to-ground comms antenna outside the International @Space_Station 📡

Record unlocked!
Congratulations to ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot on her first spacewalk yesterday - the first French woman to perform an EVA!

Spacewalks are among the most demanding activities in human spaceflight, requiring technical excellence, teamwork and months of preparation.

As Europe looks to the future of exploration, achievements like this remind us why we must continue building the capabilities that allow us not only to participate in exploration, but to help shape it.

Second spacewalk completed for Sophie Adenot
26/08/2026

(...) They first retrieved a foot restraint and installed it on Canadarm2, which was operated from inside the Station by NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway.

Anil then rode the robotic arm to External Platform 3, where the spare antenna had been stored since 2009. Sophie made her way there independently, translating along the Station's exterior.

After removing the bolts securing the antenna in place, Anil held it securely while Canadarm2 backed away from the platform and transported him, antenna in hand, to the Z1 truss. At the same time, Sophie retraced her route and translated to Z1 under her own power.

Once there, Sophie cleaned and lubricated the bolt inserts in preparation for the installation. After the spare antenna was mounted on the boom, the duo secured it and completed the electrical connections. They then removed the gimbal locks that had prevented the antenna from rotating during transport and installed a heat shield.

Next, they moved to retrieve the failed antenna that had been temporarily secured to the Station's truss during the previous spacewalk. After Sophie released the tie-downs, Anil took control of the antenna and rode the Canadarm2 to its stowage location, while Sophie translated there independently. Once at the worksite, they worked together to secure the failed antenna permanently.

Sophie then helped Anil detach from the portable foot restraint on Canadarm2, which had carried him for much of the spacewalk. Afterwards, both astronauts translated back to the airlock and ingressed the Station.

Sophie has now accumulated 12 hours and 53 minutes of spacewalking time over two EVAs. This was the 283rd spacewalk in support of space station assembly, maintenance, and upgrades.

Sophie Adenot's return to Earth - Statement from Cologne Airport

[Orionid]

Astronautka przejdzie około trzytygodniowy program rehabilitacji w EAC w Kolonii oraz ośrodku envihab, który oferuje „specjalnie zaprojektowane środowisko do kontynuowania działań bezpośrednio po locie ”.

Dla astronauty pierwsze kilka godzin po powrocie na Ziemię to zdecydowanie nie odpoczynek. „Kiedy wraca się z kosmosu, wielu ludzi myśli, że misja dobiegła końca i można się odprężyć. Niestety, tak nie jest ” – wyjaśnił niemiecki astronauta Alexander Gerst.

„Naprawdę męcząca część misji zaczyna się dopiero teraz, ponieważ nagle wiele osób interesuje się tobą i danymi, które mogą uzyskać z twojego ciała”.

Po powrocie astronautów pobierane są różne próbki, które uzupełniają te pobrane przed i w trakcie misji.
Ich wyniki przyczyniają się do badań nad wpływem podróży kosmicznych na metabolizm.

Pewien spokój pojawia się dopiero po tej pierwszej fazie repatriacji i testów. „Przez pierwsze kilka dni będziemy starać się znaleźć połączenie odpoczynku, spędzania czasu z rodziną, być może wygrzewania się na słońcu i poczucia, że ​​jesteśmy na świeżym powietrzu, oddychając świeżym powietrzem ” – wyjaśnia Bimba Hoyer, niemiecka lekarka z ESA, odpowiedzialna za monitorowanie stanu zdrowia Sophie Adenot.

W tym momencie serce powraca do swojej normalnej wielkości. W rzeczywistości skurczyło się w przestrzeni kosmicznej i nie musi już pompować krwi tak mocno jak na Ziemi, aby dostarczyć ją do różnych narządów.
Bimba Hoyer zauważa, że ​​w ciągu pierwszych czterdziestu ośmiu godzin po powrocie „istnieje ryzyko omdlenia”, ponieważ ciśnienie krwi może znacznie spaść.

W międzyczasie, w ciągu pierwszych trzech dni, Sophie Adenot przejdzie badania oceniające jej ogólny stan zdrowia. „Chociaż rozmawialiśmy z nią codziennie, nie widzieliśmy jej fizycznie od ośmiu miesięcy ” – podkreśla lekarz.
Ta ocena pozwoli na jak najlepsze dopasowanie protokołu rekonwalescencji do jej potrzeb.

Według ESA , po długiej misji trwającej co najmniej sześć miesięcy, pierwsza faza rehabilitacji trwa piętnaście dni.
Lekarz wyjaśnia, że ​​astronauci muszą od początku programu wykonywać „bardzo lekkie” ćwiczenia, aby łagodnie się regenerować.

Może to obejmować sesje pływania i fizjoterapii.
Pomimo 2,5 godziny codziennych ćwiczeń fizycznych na pokładzie ISS, astronauci tracą masę mięśniową i gęstość kości podczas długich misji.
Każdego miesiąca tracą średnio „od 1% do 2% gęstości mineralnej kości ”, zauważa Kanadyjska Agencja Kosmiczna.

„Czujesz się ciężko, twoje ramię waży tonę” – powiedział francuski astronauta Michel Tognini, który spędził ponad dwa tygodnie w kosmosie w latach 90., w wywiadzie dla franceinfo .

„Naprawdę czujesz się, jakby gumka ściągała cię w dół ” – powiedział również Thomas Pesquet w wywiadzie dla Brut.
Astronauta zgłaszał również problemy z równowagą, opisując zakładanie spodni jako „jedno z najtrudniejszych zadań” po powrocie.

„Nie byłem zbyt stabilny, widziałem, że nie idę prosto”. -Thomas Pesquet.

Jak wyjaśnia Bimba Hoyer, głównym celem ćwiczeń są różne mięśnie kręgosłupa.
„Często obserwowaliśmy, że po powrocie astronauci nie chodzą tak sprawnie, jak przed wyjazdem, ponieważ mięśnie te nie pracują w stanie nieważkości ” – wyjaśnia.

W praktyce ćwiczenia rehabilitacyjne obejmują piłki, trampoliny i skakanki, jak pokazał Thomas Pesquet na Instagramie.

Po około dziesięciu dniach astronauci będą mogli ponownie prowadzić pojazdy, zauważa lekarz.
I będą mogli to zrobić dopiero po przejściu badania neurologicznego.

Po dwóch tygodniach rehabilitacja Sophie Adenot ma zostać przejęta przez Europejskie Centrum Astronautów na trzeci i ostatni tydzień. Czy program zostanie przedłużony dla francuskiej astronautki, która spędziła osiem miesięcy na ISS, czyli o dwa miesiące dłużej niż typowa misja długoterminowa? „Nie, nie jest to planowane ” – odpowiada Bimba Hoyer, precyzując, że protokoły rekonwalescencji pozostają standardowe nawet przez rok w kosmosie, co wciąż jest dość rzadkie.

A very special moment welcoming @Soph_astro back to Europe this morning.
An emotional return, but Sophie was as strong and inspiring as ever. And one of her first messages was to thank the whole @ESA and @CNES teams for their professionalism and excellent support throughout her mission.
Welcome home, Sophie🌎

Trois semaines de récupération. Pour se remettre en forme et se réadapter à la vie sur Terre, Sophie Adenot va suivre un programme de trois semaines. Au programme : du temps avec ses proches, du repos ainsi que des exercices pour tonifier ses muscles dorsaux et retrouver l'équilibre.

Une mission pleine de records. Sophie Adenot voit sa mission Epsilon entrer dans l'histoire. Elle est la première Française à avoir effectué une sortie extravéhiculaire. Sophie Adenot en a même réalisé trois – un record. Elle détient aussi désormais le titre de la plus longue mission habitée pour un astronaute européen avec 237 jours dans l'espace.

🧪 Farewell, FSL.
After more than 18 years aboard the International @Space_Station, @esa's Fluid Science Laboratory begins its final chapter.
Today astronauts start disassembling one of the longest-serving science facilities in Europe's Columbus laboratory.
18 experiments. 42 000+ hours of operations. A lasting legacy of discovery ✨

[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] Back on the ground, back home in Europe, and welcomed by family, friends, colleagues, journalists and so many people here in Cologne. What a way to come home! 🫶 Thank you to everyone who was there, and to all of you who liked and shared my posts throughout the mission. You’ve helped shine a light on human spaceflight and what it can bring to life here on Earth.

It took countless people to make this mission possible and successful. But just as importantly, together we made it a joyful one. Rockets, spacecraft and space stations may be extraordinary pieces of technology, but spaceflight is, above all, a human adventure. And it is so much better when that adventure is filled with kindness, positivity and good vibes!

Many thanks as well to the French Air and Space Force for bringing me to Cologne. My 18 years of service taught me so much and played an important part in the journey that led me to become an astronaut. The moment I stepped aboard the plane, I felt at home, surrounded by family, my aviator brothers and sisters.

And now, first things first: getting my “Earth legs” and “Earth balance” back! 🌍

Mięśnie astronautki są w dobrej formie!
Ale równowaga to zupełnie inna historia: nawet najprostsze ćwiczenia wciąż wymagają dużego skupienia.

All that exercise in orbit is paying off: my muscles are in good shape! Balance is another story though: even the simplest exercises still require a lot of focus. But it’s getting better little by little. I’m on the right track!
Photos and video from my first reconditioning session, today!

A look back at the final days of my mission and the journey home! Leaving is never easy, but returning to Earth means carrying home incredible memories, valuable scientific results and profound gratitude for the people who make human spaceflight possible.

Just in time! Some cities seem to enjoy hiding under the clouds ☁️ whenever the Station flies overhead… It took until 6 October, the day before undocking, for me to finally catch Cologne and the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) on camera, with no clouds!

I’m currently flying towards that very airport, so to all the @esaspaceflight teams at EAC and the German Aerospace Center (@DLR_SpaceAgency): I can’t wait to see you again! 🫶

[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] Apparently, there were auroras on our flight home! The French Air and Space Force crew woke everyone up to see them… everyone except me. I missed the show because I really needed the rest – my amazing flight surgeons made sure I got it!

W zeszłym tygodniu astronautka miała pierwszą sesję rehabilitacyjną w basenie, w ośrodku Neutral Buoyancy Facility (NBF) przy EAC.

Adenot Sophie @Soph_astro 5:02 PM · Oct 18, 2026
[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] First rehabilitation session in the pool last week, at EAC’s Neutral Buoyancy Facility (NBF). Such an incredible feeling: the joy of being back in the water, the sensation of being in microgravity again, and this profound sense of well-being. Almost like being reborn.

2) Dziś obchodzimy Światowy Dzień Osteoporozy.
Jako kobieta po czterdziestce, naturalnie spodziewałabym się, że moja masa kostna zacznie spadać.
Pierwsze wyniki są zachęcające: po prawie ośmiu miesiącach w kosmosie wstępne oceny nie wykazały znaczących zmian w masie kostnej astronautki , a nawet niewielki wzrost w niektórych obszarach!

Adenot Sophie @Soph_astro 5:24 PM · Oct 20, 2026
[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] Today is World Osteoporosis Day. As a woman in my 40s, my bone mass would naturally be expected to start decreasing. Add months in microgravity, where our bones no longer have to support our body weight as they do on Earth, and you might expect that decline to accelerate.

The first results are encouraging: after nearly eight months in space, my initial assessments showed no significant change in my bone mass, and even a slight increase in some areas! While there is still much to learn from the data, it’s a powerful reminder of the important role that very targeted exercise, alongside good nutrition, can play in protecting bone health, in space and on Earth!

[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] We spent a bit of time bobbing in the waves after splashdown, and the recovery vessel is not that big either, so I can’t express how happy I was to be loaded into a helicopter for the flight to shore. I think my exact words as we started hovering were: “Aaah, finally! A machine that flies and no more waves!”

Best of all, I started my career as a cockpit design research engineer for @AirbusHeli, working on the H225. I later flew the same helicopter on challenging Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) missions with the French Air and Space Force (@Armee_de_lair). And later as a test pilot, I did many test flights on the H225 with Cazaux flight test center @DGA. So being back in an H225 after returning from space felt very special, both familiar and comforting.

Bieżnia antygrawitacyjna.
Dolna część ciała znajduje się w komorze ciśnieniowej.
Dzięki regulacji ciśnienia bieżnia zmniejsza obciążenie nóg, mięśni i stawów, umożliwiając chodzenie lub bieganie przy masie ciała mniejszej niż w normalnych warunkach.

Adenot Sophie @Soph_astro 6:36 PM · Oct 24, 2026
From microgravity 🛰️ to anti-gravity! Back at the European Astronaut Center, post-flight reconditioning included running on the anti-gravity treadmill, which, despite its name, does not actually eliminate gravity… 😁

The lower body is enclosed in an air-pressure chamber. By adjusting the pressure, the treadmill reduces the load on the legs, muscles and joints, allowing you to walk or run while bearing less than your normal body weight.
That was fun, but I was so happy to be actually running outside a few days after! 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🌴
