Italy’s first female astronaut will be dining this Christmas on cutting-edge meal prepared by aerospace engineering firm.Spare a thought for those far from home this Christmas – not least Italy’s first woman in space, Samantha Cristoforetti, one of the six astronauts orbiting the Earth at 17,200mph in the International Space Station (ISS).While Cristoforetti will miss out on her traditional family meal, she will have the consolation of cutting-edge cuisine prepared especially for her in a pristine factory on the edge of Turin.The pre-packed dishes were produced at a small aerospace engineering firm, Argotec , and have been the subject of almost as much experimentation as the spacecraft’s pressurised modules, robotic arms and solar arrays.
