Former CERN engineer Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski, now an ESA astronaut, has taken off for the International Space Station on 25.06.2025 at 8:31 a.m. aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
During the ESA mission – called Ignis – Sławosz will carry out 13 experiments proposed by Polish companies and institutions and developed together with ESA. Focusing on four key areas, this mission will contribute to advancing our understanding of human health, technology, materials science and biotechnology in space.
CERN will have the pleasure of seeing one of its technologies being tested on the ISS by Sławosz himself. In 2024, CERN collaborated with the Polish start-up SigmaLabs on the SpaceRadMon-NG (SRM) project, a next-generation miniaturised version of the Large Hadron Collider’s well-proven radiation monitoring device.
