These astronauts participate in training for launch, spacewalks, experiments, and emergency procedures, preparing to work on the International Space Station and future space exploration. They collaborate with international partners and contribute to scientific research, technology development, and understanding how humans can live and work in space. The corps helps ESA fulfill its goal of advancing Europe's role in space exploration and science.
