Meet Sophie Adenot, one of the new ESA career Astronauts. Born in 1982 in France, she seems to have done everything right to get in this position. After studying spacecraft dynamics in France, she did a master of science at MIT specifically on centrifuge training for astronauts.
Right after she joined the France Air Force to become a helicopter pilot. In this role she worked as search and rescue pilot, formation flight leader, team captain and as experimental test pilot.
Sophie has received multiple distinctions for her work as young leader and her outreach for gender equality.
Can't wait to see her float in Space!
