Two Scandinavians in space! Marcus Wandt and I have been together for a week and a half and it has been good having a fellow Scandinavian onboard — even if he speaks Swedish. 😁 Jokes aside, Marcus has been busy and working hard to maximize the science and educational output of his Muninn mission, working on several experiments every day, while adapting to living on the Space Station.
One of the great designers at ESA came up with a visual for our two mission names, Huginn and Muninn: It shows the two ravens side by side, with both of our rune stars symbolizing "Safe travels" and "Protection" below it. At the top is Scandinavia and in the bottom is a viking ship with the bow going up the middle.
Soon Marcus and the Axiom-3 crew will return to Earth after two weeks in space and I know Marcus will be a big experience richer when he lands.
