10.01.05 ESA-astronaut Andr? Kuipers will be the second Dutchman to travel to space, and the first one to visit the International Space Station. On the 19th of April, he will fly to the ISS for the eleven-day Delta-mission. He will be accompanied by Russian cosmonaut Gennadi Padalka and the American NASA-astronaut Mike Fincke. During a busy week of training at NASAÍs Johnson Space Flight Centre in Houston, they found time to do a quick photo shoot.
But as Andr? Kuipers is flying to the ISS with a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, he has spent most of his training in Star City, near Moscow.
