European Astronaut Andreas Mogensen: NASA Crew-7 Pilot in EMU Spacesuit

View of Earth taken by European Space Agency Astronaut Andreas Mogensen on Sept. 8, 2015, during his first mission to the International Space Station

These are portraits of European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen from Denmark in an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU)—the spacesuit worn by astronauts during spacewalks on the International Space Station. 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.
