A few days after the return of an ESA astronaut from the International Space Station, the ESA TV Service is looking at the future of this ambitious international project. With the Space Shuttle grounded, the comletion date will be delayed by about two years. The situation is commented by NASA’s ISS Manager Bill Gerstenmaier and by ESA Director Jörg Feustel-Büechl.

The programme includes an A-roll of five minutes (aplit audio – English voiceover) and a B-roll of 8 minutes with clean international sound.
