(L-109 days) ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen travels to St Etienne in France for a bone scan as part of the research for his space mission. The team in St Etienne are conducting an experiment to understand the changes in bone density during spaceflight, even during a short-duration mission.
Andreas is currently training for his 10-day Iriss mission to the International Space Station, set for launch in September 2015.
