Buon lunedì! Bel passaggio senza nuvole sull’Italia, ieri mattina. Nice cloudless pass over Italy yesterday. Yes, even up here we worry about the weather 😄

仰观宇宙之大,俯察品类之盛,所以游目骋怀,足以极视听之娱,信可乐也。
Looking up, I see the immensity of the cosmos; bowing my head, I look at the multitude of the world.
The gaze flies, the heart expands, the joy of the senses can reach its peak, & indeed, this is true happiness
The Sun has been really active lately. Last week we saw the most stunning auroras I have ever experienced in over 300 days in space!

It was a dream come true.
Good night from space! Flying from the North Atlantic over Europe & on to Northern Africa & the Middle East until the Indian Ocean. Spectacular views in this nearly cloudless night a few days ago. Always special to fly down the boot of

Quel ramo del lago di Como… Just North of my birthplace, Milan, beautiful Lake Como is one of the many lakes of glacial origin in Northern Italy. Glacial movement gave it its famous Y-shape.

We are GO for undocking and splashdown today! That’s it – it was my last night in weightlessness. Next time I will go to sleep it will be in a bed. Bittersweet!

Formation flying into our 4 little crew quarters. We made it on the first try… well, maybe the second 😉
Volo in formazione fino ai nostri 4 piccoli alloggi. Riuscito al primo tentativo... beh, forse al secondo 😉

Beautiful pass over Europe tonight, just after the Poland-Italy volleyball final. Congrats Poland on the great championship result and thanks for hosting. And congrats to the world champion Italy!

Si dice che noi italiani siamo individualisti e indisciplinati. Può darsi.
Di una cosa sono certa: sappiamo reagire e agire bene nelle emergenze.
In particolare in un’emergenza, sarei felicissima di avere italiane e italiani nel mio team.
Forza!
