Astronaut coffee break: let’s talk landing

Take a break with ESA astronauts Alexander Gerst, Samantha Cristoforetti, Luca Parmitano and Thomas Pesquet as they discuss living and working in space. In this video, our astronauts talk about their experiences of landing in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft upon returning from the International Space Station.

During a shared coffee break, Luca compares his first landing to his most recent landing – the second of which he found much softer than the first. Thomas finds humour in his experience of landing horizontally, while Alex describes a particularly high gravitational load on his return to Earth.

This clip is part of a series of four filmed in February 2020, following Luca’s return from the ISS mission on 6 February. It was filmed in the crew quarters of the German Aerospace Center DLR’s :envihab facility next to ESA’s European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany.

  1. All my love is to cosmology is unmistakably countless nearby lasting not ends. I'm debut seeing a coffee minutes concerning landing and Hubble space telescope of the scientifically countless pictures concerning NGCs far away thousands of light years mentioned accurately what I concern in reality via my alive ensurely what I matter, care or concern.

  2. So great! We need more of this 🙂 Please do a livestream with chat and we'll all be (t)here, sit in and ask questions… or just clink glasses on a perfect mission and safe return 😀

  3. Isn't it amazing that there seems to be so much precision and control put into operations in space, and yet when they land on Earth it's all a bit haphazard? They might land on their side, they might not 🤷‍♂️
