Thomas is a black belt judoka that we have been following throughout his preparation and mission. We wish him to enjoy his return, his family and friends, and we will keep you posted with information about Thomas in the upcoming months. In space, Thomas was accompanied by Judoroo Junior, the mascot of the Judo Educational Journey through Australia and he brought in space his black belt.
We thank the European Space Agency for all the efforts delivered during those long months of preparation and mission.
