Pas de balençoire en impesanteur mais il y a d'autres avantages. On a essayé nos scaphandres une dernière fois avant le retour, pour une ultime vérification. Il y a une légende urbaine qui raconte l’histoire d’un astronaute qui ne rentrait plus dans sa combinaison après avoir abusé de la musculation pendant ses 6 mois de mission, et non ce n’était pas moi en 2017 💪 Pas forcément facile à enfiler, mais on s’entraide. 😁
An advantage of weightlessness: you can swing your friends around (gently). We tried on our spacesuits one last time to check that everything still fits! There’s an urban legend of an astronaut who worked out so much on ISS that he didn’t fit in his spacesuit (or in his custom-moulded) seat for return… it’s not going to be me… I hope 💪. As getting into the spacesuits is not easy, and maybe because it will be one of the last times we are weightless for a long time the pictures came out fun.

iss048e045351 (07/28/2016) --- Expedition 48 crew members Kate Rubins (left) and Jeff Williams (right) of NASA outfit spacesuits inside of the Quest airlock aboard the International Space Station. Rubins and Williams will conduct a spacewalk in August 2016 to install the first International Docking Adapter, the new docking port that will enable the future arrival of U.S. commercial crew spacecraft.
Il s'est passé des choses bizarres dans la Station pendant Halloween : un scaphandre errant s'est mis à déambuler comme un fantôme, et cette main qui surgit d'entre les morts... 😱 À moins que ce soit une farce d'Aki ?
Strange things were happening on ISS for Halloween: a spooky spacesuit floating, and Aki rising from the dead (or is it from our observation window?)

iss063e030657 (June 18, 2020) --- A U.S. spacesuit is pictured in the Quest airlock of the International Space Station ahead of a pair of spacewalks that astronauts Chris Cassidy and Behnken will conduct to upgrade orbital lab power systems. A pair of plush-doll mascots, (from left) Tremor and Little Earth, delivered aboard the first two SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicles are posed floating in front of the spacesuit.
ESA Astronaut Reserve member John McFall poses for a picture while his body familiarises itself with the challenges of controlling his movements in 'weightless’ conditions. Flying with him on the Airbus ‘Zero G’ aircraft were experienced European spacewalkers Alexander Gerst and Thomas Pesquet for safety and support.
Over repeated climbs and dives of the plane, parabolic flights recreate a state of weightlessness for 20 seconds at a time. John trained in several working stations on the plane while wearing his prosthetic leg.
The former Paralympic sprinter and orthopaedic surgeon from the UK suffered the amputation of his right leg at age 19 following a motorcycle accident. He practised stabilising himself and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques, better known as CPR, while being upside down in reduced gravity.
Since 2023, John is a key figure in the pioneering ‘Fly!’ feasibility study that investigates whether it would be possible for a professional astronaut with a physical disability to embark on a mission to the International Space Station, which typically lasts six months.
As an elite athlete with a passion for biomechanics and health science, John brings a diverse background to his role in Fly!
“My experience gives me the ability to take an active role rather than being a passive subject. My skills allow the team to explore potential barriers and come up with solutions to make human spaceflight more inclusive,” explains John.
Hands-on experience is crucial for this study. John has worked with international partners and industries to test equipment and different scenarios and come up with solutions to improve accessibility to space, especially in emergency procedures.
John explains that from a very early stage the team realised that if he had to leave the spacecraft during an emergency on the launch pad, procedures would need to account for his prosthetic leg.
“My leg would need to be compatible to be worn with the spacesuit, inside the capsule and on the International Space Station, where I would need it to exercise and keep myself fit. My prosthesis would need to meet and adapt to all the requirements,” he says.
To this day, Fly! has not identified any showstoppers which would prevent an astronaut with a disability like John's from flying into space.
The Fly! study will conclude in late 2024. ESA continues to push the boundaries of what is possible,ensuring that space exploration is a shared human endeavour.
Follow John’s journey on Instagram and X, and listen to his story with the ESA Explores podcast.

Once finished with the fit-check we need to clean up, Megan helped out. OFV (we LOVE acronyms in the space industry): or On-orbit Fit Verification: we try out our spacesuits before taking them out this week. Mark is working hard getting us in the suit and making sure everything is in configuration… and that the suit is airtight. It seems like we’re getting a foot massage, but we’re not!
Une fois les essayages finis, il faut tout ranger, ça ne change pas de la vie sur Terre… Megan donne un coup de main efficace avec style 🐱🐉#chaussettesdinosaures. La sortie dans l'espace de mercredi prochain avec Shane se rapproche ! Tous ceux qui travaillent dans le spatial vous le diront : rien ne vaut un bon vieil acronyme. Celui du jour : OFV. L’activité à consisté à essayer nos scaphandres pour vérifier que tout était parfait, avant de les utiliser dehors dans l'environnement franchement hostile de l'espace. Shane et moi avons été aidés par Mark et Megan – un scaphandre spatial, ça ne s’enfile pas tout seul !

At 70,000 feet above the Earth, I took this selfie—encased in a full-pressure suit inside the cockpit of a U-2 spy plane, one of the most iconic aircraft ever built. At that moment, I was the 11th highest person on the planet—only the astronauts aboard the International Space Station were higher. The thin, curved line of the atmosphere shimmered below me; above, the sky faded into the deep black of space.
This flight was the culmination of rigorous preparation—chamber training, physical tests, oxygen pre-breathing, and a surreal introduction to “tube food” (the chocolate pudding wasn’t bad). The U-2 itself is a marvel: designed in the 1950s by Lockheed’s legendary Kelly Johnson to out-climb missiles and outlast the Cold War. Essentially a powered glider with wings like a dragonfly, it still flies today—outliving even its successor, the SR-71.
Flying with Lt. Colonel Joe “Tucc” Santucci at the controls, I felt suspended between two worlds. Inside the pressurized bubble, silence reigned. Outside, the Earth unfurled like a vast, living map. The GoPro I mounted captured not just an image, but a visceral memory: the edge of the possible.
Before takeoff, they put me in a steel-reinforced chamber to simulate a sudden cabin breach. The pressure dropped instantly to 70,000 feet. I watched a bottle of water boil—an unforgettable demonstration of what would happen to my blood without the suit.
That suit saved my life. But the view changed it.
In that singular moment, with my hand raised toward the lens, I wasn’t just taking a photo. I was reaching out to capture the awe—the profound, humbling perspective that only comes from seeing our fragile world from the edge of space.
In the summer of 2019, thanks to Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, MLB ballparks were home to one of 15 replica statues of Neil Armstrong’s iconic spacesuit to celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first Apollo Moon landing. As part of a kickstarter to conserve and digitize Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit, and put it back on display for the first time in over a decade, the spacesuit was 3D scanned. Those scans were used to create an authentic replica of the suit to give ballpark visitors a look at the suit’s many intricate details. Apollo 11 was the collective achievement of 400,000 individuals working together towards a common goal. To highlight this national effort, the Museum brought a piece of Apollo to Americans across the country. As our national pastime, baseball provides countless exciting moments for millions of Americans every year and MLB ballparks were the perfect venues for new generations to learn more about that summer night 50 years ago.
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle landed in the Sea of Tranquility, and humans stepped foot on the Moon for the first time. With that historic achievement, Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins became American heroes and earned international acclaim. The Apollo program remains the only time in history that humans have set foot on another celestial body. Apollo at the Park celebrates the astronauts who took our first small steps beyond Earth and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who worked together to make one giant leap for all humankind
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

The posable 1:7 scale spacesuit all made of LEGO bricks was designed based on the real new spacesuit developed by NASA for the mission to return to the moon, called Artemis Program.
Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo (the Apollo Program was the first to explore the moon in 1969-72).

Un nouveau cycle de sorties extravéhiculaires (mon correcteur orthographique veut plutôt écrire « extraordinaires » et honnêtement ça n’aurait pas été faux) est sur le point de commencer. Cette fois-ci, Mark et Aki prendront place dans les scaphandres. Comme d'habitude, les vérifications sont de mise : il faut s'assurer que tout fonctionne bien et qu'ils leur vont. Ils l'ont déjà fait sur Terre, mais si vous vous rappelez bien, la colonne vertébrale s'allonge un peu un impesanteur, on grandit momentanément Et puis 2 précautions valent mieux qu'une ! Entrer et sortir de sa combinaison, une véritable armure, reste un moment délicat, peu importe l'expérience de l'astronaute 😆 Pour ces essais, c'est Megan qui était aux commandes des opérations 👨🚀🚀👩🚀
Another cycle of EVAs is set to begin, but this time I’m not in the spacesuit! Mark and Aki will head out the door. One important step is verifying that their suits fit and work properly (don’t forget, our spines lengthen and our bodies change a bit in weightlessness). Getting in and out of the US EMU suit is a team effort. In this case, Megan was running the show. 👨🚀🚀👩🚀
