Next 28 July Paolo Nespoli will fly to the International Space Station for the third time.

The ESA astronaut will be launched from the Cosmodrome of Baikonur aboard a Soyuz capsule with his crewmates Russian cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky and US astronaut Randy Bresnik.

It will be a five-month mission, this time part of a barter agreement between NASA and Italy’s ASI space agency involving ESA astronauts.

This A&B-Roll presents this new long duration mission which is called VITA, life in Italian.
