Among this crew was the French astronaut, who now holds the title of the longest-serving European astronaut in space. This marks an important milestone in the history of European spaceflight.

The mission provided unique opportunities for scientific research and experiments, the results of which could yield important insights in the coming years. The stay on the ISS was characterized by various scientific projects that contribute to our understanding of the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body, as well as innovations in technology and life support in space.

This record journey highlights the growing role of Europe in the world of space exploration and collaboration with other space agencies, such as NASA and Roscosmos. It is a clear signal that European astronauts play a crucial role in exploring new possibilities in space.

The return of the crew is not only a success for the involved astronauts but also for the entire team of scientists, technicians, and support staff who were part of this long-duration mission. The experiences and data collected during these 237 days will be crucial for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
