André Kuipers

            Second Dutch citizen in space. Flight engineer on a Soyuz flight to the International Space Station. The DELTA mission was sponsored by the Dutch government in an agreement between ESA and the Russian Federal Space Agency and took place 19–30 April 2004, launching on Souyz TMA-4 and landing on Soyuz TMA-3.

The flight had three objectives: To exchange the Soyuz spacecraft that serves as Space Station lifeboat, to exchange the Station crew and for Kuipers to perform 21 experiments in human physiology, biology, technology and education.

Kuipers was subsequently assigned to Expedition 30/31 (launching and landing on Soyuz TMA-03M), a long-duration mission to the International Space Station called PromISSe. 

Together with Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko and NASA astronaut Don Pettit, Kuipers was launched on 21 December 2011 from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. 
During his mission, he took part in around 50 experiments covering a wide range of disciplines. 

He was the prime crewmember for the rendezvous and docking of ESA’s third Automated Transfer Vehicle. He was also involved in berthing SpaceX’s Dragon ferry. Kuipers and his crewmates returned to Earth on 1 July 2012.
