    • Synopsis
    • On the 16th November, 2016, the French astronaut Thomas Pesquet, 38 years old, took off for an adventure of 6 months in the International Spatial Station: Proxima Mission.

      To prepare this mission and be ready for the hostile environment of space, Thomas Pesquet trained during 7 years in the most legendary spatial conquest centers.

      From Houston, USA, to Baïkonour, Kazakhstan, the directors Jürgen Hansen and Pierre-Emmanuel Le Goff have followed this physical and mental preparation.
