European Astronaut Andreas Mogensen in SpaceX Crew-7 Dragon Spacesuit

European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen of Denmark poses for portraits taken at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, during crew training. 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 and astronaut Satoshi Furukawa from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). An additional crew member will be assigned at a later date.

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.
