Permanently inhabited for 21 years, the International Space Station has seen astronauts take turns on board.
Crews that must be fed, and which must also receive new scientific experiments.
For this, several cargo vessels are launched in the direction of the ISS and must be attached to it.
To do this, the astronauts on board have a very special device: the Canadarm, the robotic arm.
It can grab ships flying in formation with the ISS and dock them there.
Thomas Pesquet presents his checkpoint to us.
