Italy’s first female astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has arrived at the International Space Station.
She
was among the crew members in a Soyuz capsule which blasted off from
Kazahkstan on Sunday, and joined the Russian female cosmonaut Yelena
Serova who arrived at the space station in September.
Ms
Cristoforetti was previously a captain in the Italian Air Force and was
selected as an European Space Agency astronaut in 2009.
