what we learn from it accessible to all through the Web, education initiatives,
film and documentaries, and our commercial partners. As part of its agreement
with NASA, Dreamtime will provide the world with complete multi-media
capabilities through broadcasts and recordings from both inside and outside
the International Space Station.

A Dreamtime

preparation and launch of this momentous event onsite at the Baikonur
Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Dreamtime looks forward to providing you with
this footage and other exciting images from the ISS.
