Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski is expected to land at Warsaw Chopin Airport around 11:00 local time, where he will speak to the media at a press conference. Later, at approximately 13:30, he is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Although Uznański-Wiśniewski returned from the ISS last week, he spent several days at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, western Germany. There, he underwent medical evaluations and rehabilitation to help his body readjust to Earth's gravity after the mission.

“I return with a head full of energy,” the astronaut said upon his arrival in Europe. Over the past week, specialists have been monitoring both his physical and psychological response to life in space.

In the coming months, Uznański-Wiśniewski plans to participate in a series of educational events, where he is expected to share further insights from his mission and time aboard the ISS.
