A huge library of Artemis II data just dropped! Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs. 814 GB of observations. 996 new images. 521 min of never-before-released crew audio.

I just received a wonderful gift from a dear friend who participated to both #CAVES and #PANGAEA : @KudSverchkov took with him a photo of our beloved instructor Riccardo Pozzobon during his #soaceflight to #ISS .

What an incredible trio we had at #PANGAEA in this 10th anniversary Riccardo Pozzobon edition of the training!
Wouldn’t you love to see them on one of the @NASAArtemis flights? We definitely think they are ready for #geology #forwardtothemoon @esaspaceflight @HumanSpace_JAXA @Astro_Kimiya @Astro_Pablo_ESA Jasmin Moghbeli @NASAJohnson

@ESA_CAVES 's 10th edition are ESA astronaut Pablo Álvarez Fernández, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli and JAXA Kimiya Yui, during three intensive weeks, the training grows in complexity as the astronauts face challenges in real environments.

Estos días, en Canarias, he hablado con muchos medios sobre la formación de geología PANGAEA, os comparto parte de la cobertura por si queréis leerlo y ver las imágenes.

👣 One geology step closer to the Moon.
#PANGAEA, @esa's astronaut field course, celebrates 10 years of turning extraordinary places on Earth into classrooms for space exploration.

皆さん、こんばんは！
無事に訓練を終えました！
素晴らしい訓練でしたので、私の地質学の知識、スキルも大きく向上したと思います。
あと、好きな事は自分でも積極的に学ぶので、能力向上も早い気がします。
「好き」=「才能」を少し実感した訓練でした。

🔴 This image gives us strong Mars vibes.
Here's a crew of astronauts climbing to the top of a volcano in Lanzarote, Spain.
They're hunting for geological evidence of water and volcanic activity, two key clues in the search for life beyond Earth.

Participants of PANGAEA’s 10th edition are ESA astronaut Pablo Álvarez Fernández, NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli and Kimiya Yui from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA.

The #AxEMU offers more mobility than Apollo-era spacesuits, so astronauts can kneel and work closer to the ground. A suit that can kneel is only useful if the tools in hand are ready for the same work. Apollo tools were sized and shaped for a stiffer suit and a different pattern of heat and cold. That is why Axiom is redesigning the tools and equipment astronauts will need to work and collect samples at the lunar south pole.

👨🚀 Pablo Álvarez and the #PANGAEA effect.
👀 An engineer by training, the @esa astronaut is starting to see the world through geological eyes.

First geological traverse today in @GeoparkLanzarot for @Astro_Pablo_ESA @Astro_Kimiya and Jaws Moghbeli - Pablo took the commander role today and led a very successful crew in achieving all their science objectives. Bravo! blogs.esa.int/caves/2026/09/…
