Background information on the transmission:

This notification replaces an

On 15 April 2005, the next European astronaut will depart for a ten-day mission to the International Space Station, ISS. Roberto Vittori will actually be the first ESA astronaut to make a second flight to the ISS, after his Marco Polo mission in 2002.

The images for this Exchange were recorded at Star City in Moscow, and feature training of Vittori in the Soyuz simulator, plus sound bites on his mission.

The Programme is made of an A-roll (split audio, English and Italian) of five minutes plus a B-roll with clean international sound.
