ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli, Expedition 26 flight engineer, works on 1 March 2011 with the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) Spindle Bracket Assembly in the Fluids Integrated Rack (FIR) in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station.
Paolo Nespoli has now been in space for 89 days – midway through his MagISStra mission.
His duties include ISS flight engineer, conducting more than 30 scientific experiments and technology demonstrations, performing educational activities, participating in public relations events – and using much of his free time photographing Earth and tweeting.
Paolo’s Expedition 27 will return to Earth at the end of May and Expedition 29 (Sergei Volkov, Mike Fossum and Satoshi Furukawa) will complete the crew in early June.
After Paolo and Roberto, the next European on the Station will be ESA’s Dutch astronaut André Kuipers in December.
