On October 10, on the tarmac of Cologne airport, the helicopter test pilot appeared very weakened, two doctors having to support her so that she could stand and speak to the press.
The French astronaut returned to ESA headquarters in Paris for a press conference, after three weeks in Cologne.
Sophie Adenot made her dream come true and achieved the holy grail of all astronauts by carrying out three extravehicular outings during her stay on board the ISS.
Sophie Adenot holds a press conference, Monday November 2, at the headquarters of the European Space Agency, in Paris.
Referring to her physical condition, she said: “The return, as you all perceived when I arrived in Cologne, was physiologically very very demanding, within the range of what is expected but I was on the somewhat high spectrum of physiological experience.” Sophie Adenot interrupted her press conference with a smile while all the microphones were properly installed, before indicating: “It gives me very, very pleasure to see you today.”.
