Le logo de sa mission comprend un visage humain qui regarde vers l\u2019espace, une fine ligne bleue qui repr\u00e9sente l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re de la Terre et un grand arc au-dessus de l\u2019atmosph\u00e8re, qui symbolise la Station spatiale internationale en orbite autour de notre plan\u00e8te. Alexander est enthousiaste \u00e0 l\u2019id\u00e9e de repartir dans l\u2019espace: \u00abJe suis impatient de revoir la Station spatiale internationale, qui \u00e9tait devenue ma deuxi\u00e8me maison en 2014.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Au cours de la mission Horizons, Alexander va mettre \u00e0 profit les conditions d\u2019impesanteur de la Station pour \u00e9tudier la physiologie humaine, la biologie et les rayonnements solaires.

Les recherches d\u2019Alexander devraient nous permettre d\u2019en savoir plus sur notre plan\u00e8te et sur l\u2019Univers dans lequel nous vivons. Comme Alexander l\u2019explique lui-m\u00eame: \u00abVue de l\u2019espace, notre plan\u00e8te n\u2019est qu\u2019un point bleu p\u00e2le; un fragile vaisseau pour l\u2019humanit\u00e9.
