A look back at the final days of my mission and the journey home! Leaving is never easy, but returning to Earth means carrying home incredible memories, valuable scientific results and profound gratitude for the people who make human spaceflight possible.
🎥 @esa
Retour sur les derniers jours de ma mission et le voyage de retour ! Ce n’était pas facile de partir, mais revenir sur Terre, c’est aussi ramener avec soi des souvenirs inoubliables, de précieux résultats scientifiques et beaucoup de gratitude envers toutes celles et ceux qui rendent les vols habités possibles.

[🇫🇷 version FR 👇] Back on the ground, back home in Europe, and welcomed by family, friends, colleagues, journalists and so many people here in Cologne. What a way to come home! 🫶 Thank you to everyone who was there, and to all of you who liked and shared my posts throughout the mission. You’ve helped shine a light on human spaceflight and what it can bring to life here on Earth.
It took countless people to make this mission possible and successful. But just as importantly, together we made it a joyful one. Rockets, spacecraft and space stations may be extraordinary pieces of technology, but spaceflight is, above all, a human adventure. And it is so much better when that adventure is filled with kindness, positivity and good vibes!
Many thanks as well to the French Air and Space Force for bringing me to Cologne. My 18 years of service taught me so much and played an important part in the journey that led me to become an astronaut. The moment I stepped aboard the plane, I felt at home, surrounded by family, my aviator brothers and sisters.
And now, first things first: getting my “Earth legs” and “Earth balance” back! 🌍

De retour sur Terre et de retour chez moi en Europe, accueillie par tant de personnes ici à Cologne. Quel retour ! 🫶 Merci à toutes celles et ceux qui étaient là, mais aussi à vous tous qui avez aimé et partagé mes publications tout au long de la mission. Vous avez contribué à mettre en lumière les vols habités et tout ce qu’ils peuvent apporter à la vie sur Terre.
La réussite de cette mission a été rendue possible par le travail et l’implication d’innombrables personnes. Mais tout aussi important : ensemble, nous en avons fait une aventure joyeuse. Les lanceurs, les capsules et les stations spatiales sont d’incroyables exemples de technologie, mais le vol spatial est avant tout une aventure humaine. Et avec de la bienveillance, de la positivité et des good vibes, l’aventure n’en est que plus belle !
Un grand merci également à l’@Armee_de_lair pour m’avoir ramenée à Cologne. Mes 18 années de service m’ont énormément appris et ont joué un rôle important dans le parcours qui m’a menée jusqu’au métier d’astronaute. Dès que je suis montée à bord de l’avion, je me suis sentie chez moi, entourée de ma famille – mes frères et sœurs aviateurs.
Et maintenant, une priorité : retrouver mes jambes et mon équilibre de Terrienne… 🌍

What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Localize
5) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down forests

Europe is stepping up massively on defence.
Today, we are moving forward with five major joint projects: drones, air defence, space, maritime security and our Eastern Flank.
Five areas that are crucial to European security. And where we need to move fast.
Together, we are turning ambition into action. For a stronger, safer Europe.
