On the night of November 8 to 9, Thomas Pesquet and his team are expected to return to Earth after a six-month mission in space. The news of 12/13 wondered how the rehabilitation of the astronauts goes on their arrival.

After postponing his departure due to weather conditions, Thomas Pesquet is expected to return to Earth on the night of November 8 to 9. However, after a six-month mission in space, questions are raised as to how the astronauts readapt themselves on Earth. As we know, after several months in space, it is very difficult to get back to your top form.

In 2017, after several months spent in space, Thomas Pesquet was very diminished. It took him two weeks to regain his balance. The bodily change is also very brutal. The astronaut lost 1% of bone mass every month. The latter is 4 cm taller than when you left. Very profound changes that take place during the return to Earth, which should give Thomas Pesquet and his colleagues a hard time.
