Sophie Adenot

Sophie Adenot is an astronaut representing the European Space Agency (ESA). She is part of the SpaceX Crew-12 mission that recently launched and docked at the International Space Station (ISS). Adenot, along with NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, arrived at the ISS to replace a crew that had to be medically evacuated the previous month. The SpaceX Dragon capsule delivered the four astronauts after launching from Cape Canaveral. The crew will spend eight months aboard the ISS conducting research and maintaining the station. Their arrival restores the ISS to full operational strength following the unexpected departure of the previous crew. Adenot's presence on the mission highlights international collaboration in space exploration and research.
