Samantha Cristoforetti

Samantha Cristoforetti (; born 26 April 1977) is an Italian European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut, former Italian Air Force pilot and engineer. She is the second of two women sent into space by ESA and the first from Italy. Cristoforetti holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut (199 days, 16 hours), and she held the record for the longest single space flight by a woman until this was broken by Peggy Whitson in June 2017, and later by Christina Koch. She took command of ISS Expedition 68 on 28 September 2022.

In December 2021, ''Politico Europe'' named her as one of the "dreamers" in its annual list of the 28 most influential people in Europe. Provided by Wikipedia
