Nadia Massih is happy to welcome Daniel Neuenschwander, Director of Human and Robotic Exploration on the European House Company (ESA). Based on Neuenschwander, this newest ISS mission demonstrates what makes the Worldwide House Station distinctive: interdependence. European, American, Japanese, Canadian and Russian companions rely on each other to maintain the station functioning, even when relations on Earth are extra difficult. Changing a 90-kilogram communications antenna is a technically demanding process in an atmosphere the place each system should perform completely.
