Dutch Astronaut André Kuipers, for the second time our guest of honor, gave a unique look behind the scenes of international human spaceflight. He shared with the dinner guests his story, with breathtaking photo and film footage, about his second mission and exceptional view of our planet.
André Kuipers (1958) is the first Dutchman with two space missions to his name. His second mission is the longest spaceflight in European history.
In total the ESA astronaut spent 204 days in space: 11 days during mission DELTA in 2004 and 193 days during mission PromISSe.
After years of training in Houston, Moscow, Cologne, Montreal and Tokyo, a Russian Soyuz spaceship launched André and his two crew members from Russia and America on the 21st of December 2011 from Kazakhstan.
Two days later he arrived at the International Space Station to live and work for six months.
On board he was not only a medical doctor, scientist and flight engineer, but also handyman and ambassador for several charities.
On the 1st of July 2012, André returned to Earth and landed in his space capsule in the Kazakh steppe.

At the request of the former State Secretary for Infrastructure and Evironment Joop Atmsa, BARIN has joined the "Tafel van Alders Schiphol" in March of this year. Together with Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS), Luchtverkeersleiding Nederland (LVNL), and KLM they represent the aviation sector in the discussions regarding future growth of AAS within evironmental boundaries.
The first issue BARIN got involved in as "Alders Tafel" participant was that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is facing temporary additional environmental restrictions in order to compensate for delayed implementation of CDAs (Continuous Descent Approach).
Due to these temporary restrictions, the current maximum number of 32,000 night movements (as agreed as part of the agreed package deal at the “Tafel van Alders Schiphol”),is expected to be further reduced to a maximum of 29,000 night movements within a maximum of three years’ time.
To accommodate the aforementioned objective, BARIN has agreed to an arrangement formalised in a "BARIN Declaration", as discussed in the September - and approved by the December 2012 BARIN General Assemblies
