Luca Parmitano has ever participated to a space mission in his life. #In 2013, he lived a good experience of 166 days in orbit during his space program called #Volare. He has high qualified in engineering and in good health, he was selected to the another expedition: Beyond. A space program scheduled in July 2019.
As others expeditions, Beyond aims at exploring Universe in research and technology. However, in this case, this mission tends to do more than previous space travellers did. The conditions are quite difficults as astronauts live so far from our blue planet. They are prepared well with an intensive training under the same real conditions.
For the fans and youth generation Luca added to this comment:
What we do in orbit is not just for the astronauts or for the International Space Station programme, it is for everybody. It is for Earth, it is for humankind, and it is the only path for us to learn what we need in terms of science and technology in order to go beyond.
