These are views of European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen from Denmark during spacewalk and spacesuit training at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Mogensen will be the spacecraft pilot of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission—the first non-US astronaut assigned in this capacity. Crew-7 will be NASA’s seventh rotational mission to the International Space Station.

Andreas Mogensen will join NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov of Russia, and astronaut Satoshi Furukawa from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

This will be the first long-duration mission for Mogensen. He previously served as a flight engineer on a ten-day mission to the International Space Station in 2015. Crew-7 will be his second trip to space.
