During the countdown to launch Andreas will be busy as always. We managed to get a hold of his general schedule here. The table format messes up the layout of this blog but it should be readable on most computers.

His schedule on the International Space Station is flexible by design and mission planners are tweaking it all the time but we will publish a general overview on the iriss blog soon.
