International Space Station astronaut gives out of this world tribute to honor Star Trek’s 60th anniversary

Celebrations of Star Trek's 60th anniversary made it all the way to the final frontier.

Among the science and supplies delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) for European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Sophie Adenot's mission on orbit was a small piece of memorabilia to honor one of the most influential pop culture phenomena that has continually called for humanity to turn its gaze to the stars .

Adenot carried a small Starfleet badge from one of Star Trek's newest series, Strange New Worlds, which she wore during a video posted by ESA and Star Trek .

"It's a small object, but it carries something bigger: sixty years of a story that taught us to dream about exploring together," ESA said in a separate post picturing the golden badge floating in front of the station's large Cupola windows.

"From the crew of the USS Enterprise to the crews on the International Space Station, the mission hasn't really changed.

Explore.

Discover.

Do it together," the post says.

Adenot launched to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule on NASA 's Crew-12 mission to the orbital lab on Feb.

13, and is serving as flight engineer for ISS Expedition 75.

It's her first launch to space , and is set to wrap up soon, pending the launch and arrival of SpaceX's next Dragon spacecraft carrying the astronauts of NASA's Crew-13 mission, expected within just a few weeks.

In Adenot's video, she is seen donning the Starfleet badge on her ESA-issue ISS shirt, floating in ESA's Columbus laboratory module.

"For me, exploration and science are about curiosity and cooperation, daring to go a little farther together, learning from what we discover and build, and turning that knowledge into a better future for everyone," she said.

Star Trek , too, has resonated with similar themes.
