How ESA astronauts experience long missions
Background information on the transmission:
With the qdvent of the International Space Station, long-term space missions will become the routine for most astronauts in space. Whilst arriving in zero gravity poses mainly physiological challenges, a mission of several months requires also psychological strengths and team-player capabilities.
Two ESA astronauts, Thomas Reiter and Jean-Pierre HaignÈrÈ, have each spent half a year on board Mir. In today’s tranmsission, they tell the story of long-term missions into space.
The A-roll with English voiceover is complemented by a B-roll with clean international sound.
