Samantha Cristoforetti född 26 april 1977 i Milano, är en italiensk astronaut i European Space Agency och kapten i Aeronautica Militare, det italienska flygvapnet.[1][2] Under sin flygning till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS) på expedition 42 och 43 mellan den 23 november 2014 och den 11 juni 2015, blev hon den första italienska kvinnan i rymden.[3]
Hon påbörjade sin andra rymdfärd den 27 april 2022. Hon gjorde sin första rymdpromenad den 21 juli 2022.
Asteroiden 15006 Samcristoforetti är uppkallad efter henne.[4]
Sojuz TMA-15M
Efter att en Sojuz-raket som bar en Progress farkost med förnödenheter till rymdstationen, fick ett tekniskt fel ville ryska rymdingenjörer undersöka felet grundligt och raketen som skulle lyfta ersättningsbesättningen till ISS blev fördröjd.[5] Det ledde till att vid den försenade landningen 2015 var hon med 199 dagar innehavare av rekordet för den enskilt längsta rymdflygningen för en kvinna.[6]
Trivia
Cristoforetti är Star Trek-entusiast.[7]

ISS Expedition 67 Patch.svg
The International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 67 crew includes NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn, Raja Chari, Kayla Baron, Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins; Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov; and European Space Agency (ESA) astronauts Matthias Maurer and Samantha Cristoforetti.

- The Expedition 67 patch celebrates our on-going international mission to conduct science and research to improve life on Earth and extend our presence in the solar system.
- The International Space Station (ISS) is poised in the foreground to recognize the contributions of the thousands of engineers, scientists, researchers, trainers, fabricators, leaders, and dreamers who have made this miracle of engineering and sustained operations possible.
- Our beautiful home, the planet Earth, serves as a central element of the patch, just as it is central to the ISS’s mission. While we endeavor to unlock the mysteries of the universe, we are also committed to better understanding the Earth and how we can protect it for future generations.
- Three stars shine bright on a field of black, representing the United States, Russia, and Italy, the three countries with crewmembers on this particular expedition. The numerous stars further scattered across the night sky represent the additional countries that comprise the ISS partnership.
- The life-giving rays of the sun represent our crew’s families, whose love and support make this endeavor possible.
ISS Expedition 43 Patch.svg
The hexagon (six-sided) shape of the Expedition 43 patch represents the six crew members living and working onboard the orbital outpost. The International Space Station (ISS) is portrayed in orbit around the Earth, representing the multi-national partnership that has constructed, developed, and continues to operate the ISS for the benefit of all humankind. The sunrise marks the beginning of a new day, reflecting the fact that we're at the dawn of our history as a space faring species. The moon and planets represent future exploration of our solar system, for which the ISS is a stepping stone. Finally, the five stars honor the crews who have lost their lives during the pursuit of human spaceflight.

ISS Expedition 42 Patch.svg
The rectangular-shaped design portrays the International Space Station orbiting planet Earth with its solar array wings spread wide. Facing the sun with the lower left outboard solar array feathered, the left array portrays a prominent number "4" and the fully deployed arrays on the right form the Roman numeral version of "2," which signifies the two increment crews which, together, comprise the six-member international Expedition "42" crew. The crew and all supporting personnel around the world are also represented by the six stars adorning the sky around the complex.

Kjell Lindgren described the meaning behind the patch:
- The free-flying Dragon capsule forms the thorax of the central element of the patch, the Dragonfly – a beautiful and agile flyer. For many, the dragonfly represents transformation and good fortune. On its way to the International Space Station, the capsule appears suspended in low Earth orbit with the Earth below and Moon above. Four bright stars represent the four crewmembers’ families and their steadfast patience, love and support. The remaining multitude of stars represent the countless members of the NASA, SpaceX and international partner teams, whose ingenuity, vigilance and tireless work has made this mission possible.
