Astronaut Frank De Winne (Belgium) explains his journey as a flight engineer of the Soyuz spacecraft. He flew to the ISS on board of the Soyuz in 2002 and in 2009. Learning how to pilot a Soyuz was a double challenge because he had to learn the controls of both old and modernised versions of the same spacecraft.
