Day 139, orbit 2155 â After the pictures (available in HD on my Flickr account), I'm so happy to finally share the timelapse of the most spectacular aurora of the Δpsilon mission so far!
Â
đ€© Watching this glowing green ribbon shimmer and dance, it's easy to lose yourself completely in the magic of the moment. Turn the sound on for the full experience â the music was carefully chosen to bring you as close as possible to what I felt watching this from space đ.

Jour 139, orbite 2155 â AprĂšs les photos (disponibles en HD sur mon compte Flickr), je suis trĂšs heureuse de pouvoir enfin partager avec vous le timelapse de lâaurore la plus spectaculaire (jusquâĂ prĂ©sent !) de la mission Δpsilon !
đ€© Difficile de ne pas cĂ©der Ă la magie de lâinstant en regardant ce ruban de lumiĂšre verte onduler et danser sous nos yeux... Activez le son pour vivre pleinement lâexpĂ©rience : la musique a Ă©tĂ© choisie avec soin pour Ă©voquer les Ă©motions que jâai ressenties en admirant ce spectacle depuis lâespace đ

What happens to your muscles after months without gravity? đȘ
Back on Earth, our astronaut Sophie Adenot took part in the Sarcolab experiment.
The experiment measures how spaceflight affects the muscles and tendons in the lower legs, helping scientists understand how the human body adapts to microgravity and recovers after returning to Earth.
Know someone whoâd find this interesting? Share it with them! đČ
Sophie took part in these post-flight tests at :envihab, the DLR research facility in Cologne, Germany.

[đ«đ· version FR en commentaire] đȘ I exercised every day in space, pushed myself hard and feel like I came back stronger than ever! But strength is only part of the story. Without gravity constantly pulling on our bodies, our muscles and tendons are used differently, which can lead to changes not only in muscle mass and strength, but also in the way our muscles, tendons and nervous system work together.
Sarcolab-3 looks at muscle volume and architecture, strength and power, tendon stiffness, as well as how muscles are activated and controlled by the nervous system, including reflex responses đŠ”. Measurements were taken before launch, and the first post-flight measurements took place within days of splashdown, at the @dlr.en Institute of Aerospace Medicine located next to the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) in Cologne, Germany.
What we learn from studying how bodies adapt to space can be useful well beyond spaceflight. By helping us better understand muscle loss and recovery, Sarcolab-3 could contribute to research into ageing, prolonged inactivity and recovery from injury here on Earth, while also helping us improve training and rehabilitation for future astronauts. Go science! đŹ

[đ«đ· version FRđ] Flashback to the soundtrack of EVA-99 prep last August: tools gently clinking together, like chimes in the breeze. đ
For me it feels like it was yesterday⊠but since then, the Expedition 75 crewmates have already performed EVA-100 and EVA-101!
Congrats to the @iss teams for these 2 successful EVAs! Well done, teams!

Retour sur lâambiance sonore des prĂ©paratifs de la sortie extravĂ©hiculaire EVA-99 en aoĂ»t dernier : le doux tintement des outils, comme un carillon au grĂ© du vent. đ
Jâai lâimpression que câĂ©tait hier⊠mais lâĂ©quipage de l'ExpĂ©dition 75 a rĂ©alisĂ© depuis les EVA-100 et EVA-101 !
Félicitations aux équipes @iss pour ces deux sorties extravéhiculaires réussies. Bravo à toutes et à tous !

[đ«đ· version FRđ] A busy Monday, between Paris newsrooms, ESA Headquarters and the ĂlysĂ©e Palace! Very happy to meet again in person the journalists who followed and covered the #Δpsilon mission, at a morning radio show đïž, a press conference and the evening news đș.
It was also great to catch up with some of the @europeanspaceagency and @cnes_france communications teams for interviews youâll soon discover on social media!
And last but not least, I was deeply honoured to meet with President @emmanuelmacron who warmly welcomed me back to Earth and shared with me the French enthusiasm for the whole mission.

Un lundi bien rempli, en visite dans les rĂ©dactions parisiennes, au siĂšge de lâESA et Ă lâĂlysĂ©e ! TrĂšs heureuse dâavoir revu en personne les journalistes qui ont suivi et racontĂ© la mission #Δpsilon, entre matinale đïž, confĂ©rence de presse et journal du soir đș.
Jâai aussi retrouvĂ© avec plaisir une partie des Ă©quipes de communication de lâ@europeanspaceagency et du @cnes_france pour des interviews Ă dĂ©couvrir trĂšs bientĂŽt sur les rĂ©seaux sociaux !
Enfin, et non des moindres, trĂšs honorĂ©e dâavoir Ă©changĂ© avec le prĂ©sident @emmanuelmacron, qui mâa chaleureusement souhaitĂ© un bon retour sur Terre et mâa fait part de lâenthousiasme des Français pour lâensemble de la mission.

[đ«đ· version FR en commentaire] This colorful, almost tropical-looking picture đŠ is actually a scan of my brain, taken before I left Earth⊠In microgravity, where there is no familiar sense of up or down, the brain has to learn to interpret signals about movement, balance and orientation differently.
Â
đ§ Â ESAâs Brain-DTI experiment uses advanced MRI scans to study changes in astronautsâ brains during a long-duration space mission. By comparing scans taken before and after the mission, researchers can study how the brain rewires itself to adapt to microgravity and living in 3 dimensions, and how it begins adapting back after the space mission. I had three MRIs at a @dlr.en facility during the first 15 days after my return, and will have one more in about six months.
Â
Brain-DTI helps scientists better understand whatâs behind space motion sickness (which Iâm happy to say I didnât experience!), balance and disorientation, and the knowledge gained is also helping people affected by balance disorders on Earth. Go science! đŹ

Earth đ from orbit during the #Δpsilon mission â Flying along Eighty Mile Beach in Western Australia⊠Turquoise waters, red sand, sunglint on the tidal flats and every shade in between. What an incredible palette of colours from orbit! Earth is so beautifulâŠ

From microgravity đ°ïž to anti-gravity! Back at the European Astronaut Center, post-flight reconditioning included running on the anti-gravity treadmill, which, despite its name, does not actually eliminate gravity⊠đ
The lower body is enclosed in an air-pressure chamber. By adjusting the pressure, the treadmill reduces the load on the legs, muscles and joints, allowing you to walk or run while bearing less than your normal body weight.
That was fun, but I was so happy to be actually running outside a few days after! đââïžââĄïžđŽ

De la micropesanteur đ°ïž Ă lâantigravitĂ© ! Quand jâĂ©tais au Centre europĂ©en des astronautes pour la pĂ©riode post-vol, jâai eu droit Ă des sĂ©ances sur un tapis de course trĂšs spĂ©cial, appelĂ© âantigravity treadmillâ. Contrairement Ă ce que son nom laisse penser, il ne fait pas vraiment disparaĂźtre la gravité⊠đ
Le bas du corps est placĂ© dans une chambre pressurisĂ©e, et il suffit dâajuster la pression pour rĂ©duire la charge sur les jambes, les muscles et les articulations, permettant ainsi de marcher ou de courir en ne supportant quâune partie de son poids habituel.
Bon, câĂ©tait sympa, mais câĂ©tait encore + sympa de courir dehors quelques jours aprĂšs ! đââïžââĄïžđČ
