Michelin-star chef prepares ISS meals for French astronaut | AFP

When French astronaut Sophie Adenot arrives at the International Space Station (ISS) in 2026, she will dine on French gastronomical classics such as lobster bisque, foie gras and onion soup prepared especially for her by a chef with 10 Michelin stars. Food delivered to the ISS must meet strict specifications and most meals in space are canned, vacuum‑packed or freeze‑dried from a set of options provided by space agencies. But to spice things up, one out of every 10 meals is prepared for specific crew members according to their personal tastes.
