    • Description

      This is the latest overview of the International Space Station outlining its current configuration and focusing on the European Space Agency's involvement. The programme recaps the missions undertook by ESA astronauts Umberto Guidoni and Claudie Haigneré and looks ahead to the future missions to the ISS by Roberto Vitori and Frank de Winne.
      The 5-minute A-roll contains split audio with an English guide track and is complemented by a B-roll with international sound only.

      Already it shines like a huge star: once complete, the International Space station will be the brightest object in the night sky after the moon. Circling the earth 16 times a day, man's new permanent outpost in space will eventually be as large as a football pitch and weigh 400 tonnes.
      The ISS vision is fast becoming a reality. The station is now permanently manned by three-member expedition crews who live on board for four months at a time.
      Shorter missions visit the ISS by space shuttle or Soyuz craft to deliver supplies or construct new elements of the station.
      In April 2000, Italian astronaut Umberto Guidoni became the first ESA astronaut to visit the station, as a member of Space Shuttle mission STS-100. Over an eight day mission, which included 15 hours of space walking, the crew installed the 9000 kg Italian Rafaello logistics module In a complex operation using the space shuttle's own robotic arm, they also attached the long-awaited Canadian multi-jointed robotic arm to the Unity node.
