ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer, who just returned from the International Space Station as part of Crew-3, will participate in two press conferences on May 11, 2022.

Maurer, who is back in Europe, will participate in the first at 11:45 am Central European Summer Time (CEST, which is 5:45 am EDT). It will be livestreamed on ESA TV.

He will also participate in NASA’s Crew-3 post-splashdown news conference with his three NASA colleagues — Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron –at 11:45 am EDT.

[We checked with ESA and confirmed there are in fact two press conferences, at 11:45 am CEST and 11:45 am EDT. “Indeed there are two post-flight press events tomorrow. Matthias will be at the European Astronaut Centre in the morning  for a Cosmic Kiss news conference (05:45 EDT / 11:45 CEST) and he will join his crew mates later in the day (11:45 EDT / 17:45 CEST) virtually. Both events will be streamed, first on ESA TV and second via NASA channels.”]
