Marco Sieber, the new Swiss astronaut of the European Space Agency

The European Space Agency (ESA) of Switzerland has a new astronaut. The official ceremony took place this Monday morning in front of the press and ESA instructors. Marco Sieber from Bienne is one of five members of the new group of European astronauts, the Hoppers. They could be invited to work on the International Space Station (ISS) and possibly be sent on a future mission to the Moon. This is therefore an important step for young astronauts, including Marco Sieber, who was looking forward to this day…

It should also be noted that Marco Sieber returned a few days ago from Washington, where the Swiss Artemis Agreement on sustainable space exploration was signed on April 15. /jmp
