Samantha Cristoforetti 'Barbie' in space

ESA and Mattel have released a Samantha Cristoforetti Barbie doll to coincide with World Space Week 2021 and its theme of ‘Women in Space’, to help encourage girls to become the next generation of astronauts, engineers and space scientists. Previously a one-of-a-kind item, the new Samantha Cristoforetti Barbie is now available across Europe - and here shown floating in microgravity!
