1) Best of Le Bouget (30 minutes)
11:00-11:30 GMT
There was something for everyone in the “Europe in Space” pavilion at the 44th Le Bourget Air Show in Paris, open 16-24 June 2001. The 1300 sqm pavilion set up jointly by ESA and the French Space Agency CNES, featured Earth observation, navigation, space science, the International Space Station, and Ariane launchers. This ESA TV transmission includes some highlights of events there:
Item 1: Guided tour of the “Europe in Space” pavilion.
Item 2: Sound bite by Alain Bensoussan, Chairman of the ESA Council and President of CNES, on the challenges ahead for Europe in Space.
Item 3 Announcement of the winner of ESA’s competition to design an Earth Flag. All 16 of the winners from the ESA Member States plus Canada, were present in Le Bourget and their winning entries on view for all to see. Anke Hartmann, from Germany was the happy winner: her drawing of an Earth flag will be painted onto the Ariane 5 launcher carrying Envisat into space in October and she will be able to watch this launch at Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Item 4: Outline by Stephen Briggs, Head of Remote Sensing at ESA, on how satellites can contribute to the EC initiative “Global Monitoring for Environment and Security”.
Item 5: A guided tour by ESA expert Dieter Isakeit of the end cone of the Columbus Laboratory for the International Space Station, on exhibit at the Paris Airshow.
Item 6: Soundbite by Armand Carlier, CEO of Astrium, Europe’s leading space company, on the role of space agencies like ESA and CNES to strengthen Europe’s space industry on global markets.

2) Envisat and Waves (15 minutes)
11:30-11:45 GMT
Being able to accurately predict weather patterns and sea state has long been the goal for many of the world’s top scientist. With the launch of ENVISAT in the autumn it will give them a new weapon in their understanding of Mother Nature – the advanced synthetic aperture radar ASAR, one of the howt of new technologies aboard the ‘state of the art’ satellite.
This edited programme gives an insight about how the ASAR instrument on board Envisat can be used in wave/storm predictions and includes English soundbits by Peter Janssen Head of Optical Wave Project ECMWF. The 5 minute split track A-roll with English commentary is complemented by a longer B-roll with clean international sound.
A full script and shotlist can be found on the ESA Website under the Monthly Transmissions for June.
