Astronaut Sophie Adenot, ISAE-SUPAERO alumna, returns to Earth after her mission on the ISS.

ESA astronaut and ISAE-SUPAERO graduate engineer Sophie Adenot has returned to Earth after nearly 8 months aboard the International Space Station (ISS) for her Epsilon mission.

Her return marks the end of an ambitious mission during which Sophie Adenot conducted numerous scientific experiments. A graduate of ISAE-SUPAERO, she is the second French woman to undertake a long-duration mission in space, following in the footsteps of Claudie Haigneré.
During her stay on the ISS, Sophie Adenot contributed to approximately 200 scientific experiments, including 10 of French origin, covering diverse fields such as medicine and materials physics. Her commitment and journey continue to inspire younger generations, particularly through the OSE l'ISAE-SUPAERO program.
