André recorded a message yesterday for the symposium: He is working on over 50 experiments at the moment. Highlight is the PK-3 plasma experiment that is offering new ways to kill bacteria in hospitals.

For two more months, André will continue to harvest scientific results and further astronauts after him will continue the research on the Space Station.
