German Astronaut Alexander Gerst Aboard The International Space Station

IN SPACE - OCTOBER 28: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) In this handout photo provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 28, 2014, German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst took this image of the setup in the Russian Zvezda module on the International Space Station shortly before the docking of Europe's Automated Transfer Vehicle Georges Lemaitre (ATV-5), referring to it as 'my office', whilst aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Gerst returned to earth on November 10, 2014 after spending six months on the International Space Station completing an extensive scientific programme, known as the 'Blue Dot' mission (after astronomer Carl Sagan's description of Earth, as seen on a photograph taken by the Voyager probe from six billion kilometres away).
