PromISSe mission explained by André Kuipers

André Kuipers introduces the PromISSe mission and talks about his training program. André will work on the Station as a member of Expedition 30 for about five months. His launch is expected on 21 December with docking to the Space Station two days later.
Three powerful messages are integrated in PromISSe: the crucial role of scientific research, a greater use of the Space Station and the inspirational value of ESA space programmes.
