Astronaut Paolo Nespoli IZ0JPA
Third spaceflight for astronaut Paolo Nespoli

ESA astronaut *Paolo Nespoli, IZ0JPA* will be heading for space a third
time, as part of Expeditions 52 and 53 to the International Space Station.
He will be launched on a Soyuz vehicle in May 2017 on a five-month mission.

The new mission is part of a barter agreement between NASA and Italy's ASI
space agency involving ESA astronauts. It will be ASI's third long-duration
flight, following Luca Parmitano's Volare in 2013 and Samantha
Cristoforetti's Futura this year.

Paolo's first spaceflight was his two-week Esperia mission on the Space
Shuttle's STS-120 in 2007, ASI's second short-duration flight under the
barter agreement. One of his main tasks was to help install the Node-2
module on the Space Station.

He returned to the Station in 2010 for ESA's 160-day MagISStra mission as
part of Expeditions 26 and 27. In addition to his many experiments, he was
involved in the dockings of two cargo craft: Europe's second Automated
Transfer Vehicle and Japan's second HII Transfer Vehicle.

Following his second flight, Paolo worked at ESA's ESRIN centre in Italy
and at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne. He recently began training
at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre near Moscow, Russia, for his new
adventure.
