ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli from Italy is scheduled to make his third spaceflight this July. Launched on board a Soyuz spacecraft from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, he’ll be living and working onboard the International Space Station for around five months. Now 60, Paolo intends to make full use of his previous spaceflight experience in orbit.
Paolo's mission is called Vita, which stands for Vitality, Innovation, Technology and Ability. The name was chosen by Italy’s ASI space agency, which is providing the mission through a barter agreement with NASA.
In Italian, “vita” means “life”, reflecting the experiments that Paolo will run and the philosophical notion of living in outer space – one of the most inhospitable places for humans.
