Cosmonautics. Menu for an Italian woman. (2014)

Italian Samantha Cristoforetti is preparing for an expedition to the ISS in Star City.

Italy's first female cosmonaut will go into orbit together with Anton Shkaplerov and Terry Verst on the Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft.

The crew is engaged in a very important task: together with specialists, they taste dishes.

They approach this very responsibly, because what the astronauts choose in their menu, they will have to eat for six months.

Interview: Anton Shkaplerov, Samantha Cristoforetti, Senior Researcher at the CPC Andrey Balandin, Oleg Artemyev, Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Kononenko.
