Franco-Russian Mission "ANDROMEDE" 21-31 October 2001
Claudie Haigneré (France), the first European female astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS)
The Russian SOYUZ TM-33 "DERBENT" spacecraft, carrying the first Franco-Russian crew in the history of the ISS, lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on October 21, 2001. French astronaut Claudie Haigneré and her two Russian crewmates, Commander Viktor Afanasyev and Experimenter Mirovich Kozeyev, flew to the International Space Station (ISS) to replace the station's emergency capsule and carry out a large-scale scientific program.
The Soyuz successfully docked with the ISS the following day. As the on-board engineer on this ten-day mission dubbed "Andromeda," Claudie Haigneré, for whom this is her second mission, is the first French woman and the first European woman astronaut on board the ISS.
