Questions & Answers about Podsumowując, to pierwsza załogowa misja w naszym układzie słonecznym.
Why does podsumowując end in -ąc and what is its role here?
It is a present adverbial participle (a verb form acting like an adverb) created from the imperfective verb podsumowywać (to summarize). While it literally means 'summarizing', it functions here as a fixed connector meaning 'in conclusion' or 'to sum up'.
Where does the adjective załogowa (manned) come from?
Is it correct to omit jest after to in this sentence?
Yes! In Polish, when using to as a demonstrative pronoun to link 'this' with a noun phrase, the verb jest is very frequently dropped. Saying to pierwsza załogowa misja is perfectly natural, though to jest pierwsza załogowa misja is also correct.
