Astronaut Thomas Pesquet Reveals New Space Mission Logo

European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet has revealed the name and logo for his six-month mission to the International Space Station starting next November.

Thomas will be the 10th astronaut from France to head into space and his mission name of Proxima continues the French tradition of referring to stars and constellations.

The name was chosen from over 1300 entries to ESA’s competition earlier this year. The winner was provided by 13 year-old Samuel Planas from Toulouse, France.

“Proxima is the closest star to our Sun and is the most logical first destination for a voyage beyond our Solar System,” explained Samuel. “Proxima also refers to how human spaceflight is close to people on Earth.”

The announcement was made in France’s ministry for higher education and research in Paris, in the presence of secretary of state Thierry Mandon, ESA Director General Johann-Dietrich Woerner, and the president of France’s CNES space agency, Jean-Yves Le Gall.

The logo continues the exploration theme, with star trails evoking future space travel and exploration beyond low-Earth orbit. The designers say the two stylised planets can represent the Earth and Moon or the Moon and Mars.

The ‘x’ in Proxima is centred in the middle of the patch to signify the star Proxima Centauri. It is also claimed to refer to the unknown as well as Thomas being the 10th French space voyager.

The three vertical lines form the outline of the International Space Station as well as representing the colours of Earth, the Moon and Mars, while hinting at the French national flag.

Thomas commented: “I am really pleased with this mission name and the logo. It ticks all the boxes I had in mind by continuing the naming tradition for French astronauts and recognising the legacy of human spaceflight so far while also being forward-looking and futuristic.”
