Umberto Guidoni made history by becoming the first European astronaut to visit the International Space Stations. This short programme was made prior to the Shuttle launch on the 19 April 2001, which carried Guidoni to the space station along with the ASI built MPLM Rafaello and also the new Canadian robotic arm Canadarm2. It introduces the Italian astronaut, outlines his mission to the ISS, includes footage of his previous mission to space and also English soundbites.
The 3 minute A-roll with split tracks and English commentary is complemented by a longer B-roll with clean international sound.
