I was deeply saddened to hear of Jörn’s passing. His contributions to ESA’s human research programme — and to space physiology more broadly — were truly exceptional. Jörn was not only a brilliant scientist, but also a thoughtful collaborator and a genuinely kind person. His work has left a lasting legacy, and he will be greatly missed by the entire space research community.

My sincere condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
