Andr\u00e9 Kuipers is a Dutch physician<\/span> and ESA astronaut. He is the first Dutchman with two space missions to his name. His second mission is the longest spaceflight in European history. In total the ESA astronaut spent 204 days in space: 11 days during mission DELTA in 2004 and 193 days during mission PromISSe.<\/p>\n

After years of training in Houston, Moscow, Cologne, Montreal and Tokyo, a Russian Soyuz spaceship launched Andr\u00e9 and his two crew members from Russia and America on the 21st of December 2011 from Kazakhstan. Two days later he arrived at the International Space Station to live and work for six months. On board he was not only a medical doctor, scientist and flight engineer, but also handyman and ambassador for several charities. On the 1st of July 2012, Andr\u00e9 returned to Earth and landed in his space capsule in the Kazakh steppe.<\/p>\n

Working on groundbreaking technology which can exist in an extraterrestrial environment enables us to come to scientific insights about our place in the universe, we gather enormous amounts of information about our own Earth and the life our planet sustains.

Borders dividing countries are not visible from space. What is visible from space are the global challenges humankind faces: climate change, deforestation, erosion, the consequences of urbanisation.\r\n\r\nWhen looking at Earth from space it becomes clear that we live on a small planet in a big and dark universe; Earth is in fact itself a \u2018spaceship\u2019 with limited supplies.

The way the human body adapts to conditions in space has always intrigued him. Within aerospace medicine, Andr\u00e9 participated in a variety of research projects. During his space missions, Andr\u00e9 conducted dozens of medical experiments and was often a 'guinea pig' himself.\r\nHe tells us first-hand about the influence of acceleration forces and weightlessness on the human body.
