===Expedition 50/51===
[[File:ISS-50 EVA-2 (h) Thomas Pesquet.jpg|thumb|Pesquet during EVA on January 13, 2017]]

Pesquet launched from the [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]] onboard [[Soyuz MS-03]] on November 17, 2016. He spent six months on the [[International Space Station]] as part of [[Expedition 50]]/[[Expedition 51|51]]. Arriving at the ISS on November 19, 2016, he was the first French astronaut since [[Léopold Eyharts]] helped install the ''[[Columbus (ISS module)|Columbus]]'' European laboratory module during [[Expedition 16]]. His arrival marked the beginning of the European Proxima mission.<ref name="arrive">{{cite web|url=http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_Spaceflight/Proxima/ESA_astronaut_Thomas_Pesquet_arrives_at_the_International_Space_Station|title=ESA Astronaut Thomas Pesquet arrives at the International Space Station|date=19 November 2016|publisher=[[ESA]]}}</ref>

[[File:Soyuz MS-03 prime crew.jpg|left|thumb|Pesquet and fellow crew members Oleg Novitsky and Peggy Whitson (left to right)]]

The Proxima mission included 50 science experiments for [[ESA]] and [[CNES]]. The mission was named after [[Proxima Centauri]], continuing the French astronauts' tradition of naming the missions after stars and constellations. The X inside the logo symbolizes that Pesquet is the tenth French astronaut as well as the unknown. The Proxima mission name was chosen in a competition, with the winning name given by 13-year-old Samuel Planas from Toulouse, France. The mission logo was designed by Thomas Pesquet and Karen Oldenburg.<ref name="logo">{{cite web|url=http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2015/11/Proxima_mission_logo|title=Proxima Mission Logo|date=12 November 2015|publisher=[[ESA]]}}</ref>

Pesquet performed his first [[Extravehicular activity|EVA]] with astronaut [[Shane Kimbrough]] on January 13, 2017. During the EVA, they prepared the infrastructure to replace the ISS batteries. The EVA lasted for 5 hours and 58 minutes.<ref name="EVA">{{cite web| url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2017/01/13/second-spacewalk-of-2017-successfully-complete/| title=Second Spacewalk of 2017 Successfully Complete| publisher=NASA| date=January 13, 2017|access-date=January 28, 2017}}</ref>

On March 23, 2017, Pesquet performed his second career EVA with [[Shane Kimbrough]]. The main objective was to prepare the Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3) for installation of the second International Docking Adapter (IDA), which will accommodate future commercial crew vehicle dockings. The PMA-3 provides the pressurized interface between the station modules and the docking adapter. Expedition 50 Commander Kimbrough and Pesquet disconnected cables and electrical connections on PMA-3 to prepare for its robotic move on March 26, 2017. PMA-3 will be moved from the port side of the ''Tranquility'' module to the space-facing side of the Harmony module, where it will become home for the docking adapter, which will be delivered on a future flight of a SpaceX Dragon cargo ship. The spacewalkers also installed on the starboard zero truss (ITS) a new computer relay box equipped with advanced software for the adapter.
The two spacewalkers lubricated the latching end effector on the Canadarm2 robotic arm, inspected a radiator valve suspected of a small ammonia leak and replaced cameras on the Japanese segment of the outpost. Radiators are used to shed excess heat that builds up through normal space station operation. The EVA lasted for 6 hours and 34 minutes.<ref name="EVA2">{{cite web| url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/first-of-three-station-spacewalks-underway/| title=Astronauts carry out first of three station spacewalks| publisher=CBS news| date=March 24, 2017|access-date=March 28, 2017}}</ref>

On June 2, 2017, MS-03 undocked from the ISS, carrying Pesquet and Novitskiy back to Earth, concluding a 196-day mission in space. [[Peggy Whitson]] remained on the ISS and returned on [[Soyuz MS-04]]. MS-03 touched down just over 3 hours after undocking, concluding Pesquet's first spaceflight. Pesquet has spent 196 days,
17 hours and 49 minutes in space.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacestation/2017/06/02/expedition-51-crew-back-on-earth-after-196-days/ |title= Expedition 51 Crew Back on Earth After 196 Days|last=Garcia |first=Mark |publisher=NASA |date=June 2, 2017}}</ref>

===Expedition 65/66===
On 11 March 2020, ESA announced in a blog post that Pesquet would return to the ISS in the second half of 2021 for a second six-month stay, in which he would become the first European astronaut to launch on board an American [[Commercial Crew Program|Commercial Crew Vehicle]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-03-11|title=Thomas starts training for second space mission|url=https://blogs.esa.int/exploration/thomas-starts-training-for-second-space-mission/|access-date=2020-08-04|website=ESA - Exploration}}</ref> And on July 28, 2020, Pesquet was officially assigned to the [[SpaceX Crew-2]] as a mission specialist alongside [[NASA]] astronauts [[Shane Kimbrough]] commander of the [[SpaceX Crew Dragon|Crew Dragon]], [[Megan McArthur]] the pilot, and [[JAXA]] astronaut [[Akihiko Hoshide]], the other mission specialist.<ref name="NASA Crew Announcement">{{cite web |last1=Potter |first1=Sean |title=NASA Announces Astronauts to Fly on SpaceX Crew-2 Mission to Space Station |url=https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-announces-astronauts-to-fly-on-spacex-crew-2-mission-to-space-station |website=NASA |date=28 July 2020 |access-date=28 July 2020}}</ref> Few hours before the announcement and after a competition to name Pesquet's mission,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Thomas Pesquet's 'Alpha' mission patch - collectSPACE: Messages|url=http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/001584.html|access-date=2020-08-04|website=www.collectspace.com}}</ref> Pesquet revealed his second mission name as '''Alpha''', after [[Alpha Centauri]], the nearest star system to the Sun, following the French mission naming tradition.<ref name="ESA20200728"/>
