As part of his mission to the International Space Station more than more than 20 years ago, former French astronaut Philippe Perrin got to perform three spacewalks. He tells RFI about the most distinct memories of his mission above the Earth.
Of the three times Perrin had to step outside into space, the most challenging and high pressure moment was a spacewalk to repair a key component of the ISS – the Canadian robotic arm, which needed one of its joints replaced.
