Samantha assumed command after a traditional handover ceremony, focused on the symbolic passage of a key by her predecessor.

With the Artemis program, we are looking at the Moon, and Italy is contributing to it because we strongly believe that exploration, as well as the other space sectors, represents an opportunity to generate a strong economic return and for the growth of our country\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThanks to Italy and all the Italians who have always supported and followed me in this mission with affection &#8211; said <strong>Cristoforetti<\/strong> -, it\u2019s a privilege and an honor to represent Italy here in space. If I\u2019m here today, it is thanks to the great commitment and the excellent results that our country has obtained and still obtains in the space sector\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Minerva, Cristoforetti\u2019s second mission on the Iss after the ASI <strong>Futura<\/strong> mission in 2014, started on April 27<sup>th<\/sup>, 2022, with the liftoff of the Crew-4 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. From that moment on, AstroSamantha has been participating in an intense scientific activity and working on several experiments, including six Italian Space Agency experiments in different fields: health, neuroscience, radiations and feeding.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the start of the Minerva mission, Samantha has been in charge of the United States Orbital Segment (USOS), monitoring the activity in the U.S., European, Japanese and Canadian modules and components of the Station.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last July 21<sup>st<\/sup>, Cristoforetti also completed\u00a0her first spacewalk, becoming the first European female astronaut to perform an extravehicular activity.
