Back in Europe after a long, but very smooth flight.
Early next week I’ll take care of some administrative work at my homebase, the European Astronaut Centre (EAC). You know.. email, paperwork, meetings. Plus a couple of interviews. After that I’ll be on vacation for ten days. I’ll be back at EAC on September 9th for Columbus training.
When there is no Space-To-Ground communication with the Space Station we say that we are LOS (Loss-Of-Signal). Short periods of LOS are normal and due to discontinuities in satellite coverage. So, this training logbook will be LOS for a couple of weeks.
So long and, as they say from Mission Control before the start of a planned LOS, “see you on the other side!”.
