Today, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet revealed the name and logo for his six-month mission to the International Space Station starting next November.
Thomas will be the 10th astronaut from France to head into space and his mission name of Proxima continues the French tradition of referring to stars and constellations.
The name was chosen from over 1300 entries to ESA’s competition earlier this year. The winner was provided by 13 year-old Samuel Planas from Toulouse, France.
“Proxima is the closest star to our Sun and is the most logical first destination for a voyage beyond our Solar System,” explained Samuel.
