Southern Netherlands, as seen from the ISS

Andre Kuipers looks down on the Southern Netherlands, including Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Tilburg, Breda and Hertogenbosch, from his vantage point on the International Space Station.

Andre is on the orbital outpost for ESA's long-duration mission, PromISSe. He was launched with his fellow crewmembers Don Petitt and Oleg Kononenko, from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, in December 2012.
