Esperia Mission Postflight
ESA TV Exchanges
Italian Astronaut Paolo Nespolis mission to the ISS last month represents Europes first real step towards owning its own real estate in space. By successfully delivering and installing Node 2 to the ISS, ESAs Esperia mission provides the building block needed for the delivery of its state of the art science laboratory Columbus with the next shuttle in December. This represents the start of the full scientific utilisation phase of the European human spaceflight programme that will allow Europe to reap the fruits of its investments in the very near future.
