ESA
astronauts Luca and his crewmates, cosmonaut commander Fyodor
Yurchikhin and NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, spent the last few weeks
before launch in Moscow, Russia passing their final exams for flying the
Soyuz spacecraft that will fly them to the International Space Station.
They received their official tickets to the orbital outpost on 10 May
when the Soyuz examination board declared them qualified to fly. The
crew left for the Baikonur launch facility on 16 May. The crew stayed at
the traditional Cosmonaut Hotel for the last days before launch. Luca,
Fyodor and Karen are quarantined to make sure they do not take any
unwanted bacteria or viruses to the Space Station. Family and support
personnel such as flight surgeons are the only people allowed to stay
with them. Cosmonauts Pavel Vinogradov, Alexander Misurkin and NASA
astronaut Chris Cassidy are already on the Station and will welcome the
new Expedition when the Soyuz docks on 29 May. Luca's Volare mission
is provided through an agreement with Italy's ASI space agency. His busy
schedule of science and maintenance involves two spacewalks to install
new equipment and retrieve experiments.

On 28 May 2013 begins for the Italian ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano its mission "Volare" with the launch of the Russian cosmodrome in Baikonur.
For six months, the ISS is then his job and his home. He is one of ESA's astronaut class of 2009, who graduated his first complete basic training at the European Astronaut Centre (ESA / EAC) on the premises of DLR in Cologne.
In an interview with Manuela Brown from the DLR Luca Parmitano reported the challenges that he seeks in his profession - and enjoy.
