Andreas Mogensen has been assigned a long-duration mission to the International Space Station and is expected to fly as the pilot of a Crew Dragon spacecraft in mid 2023 or early 2024.

It will be the first long-duration mission for Andreas, who previously flew to the Station in 2015 for a 10-day mission known as Iriss. It is also the first time an international partner astronaut has been assigned to the role of pilot for a NASA SpaceX mission.

Footage of Andreas training on joint airlock hardware and controls, as well as in photography, is available, along with interviews in English and Danish:
