World First Web Video Chat From Space
On 28 November, T-Online and the European Space Agency (ESA) have announced they will produce the first-ever space web video chat with astronaut Thomas Reiter responding to questions via the Internet live from the International Space Station. In a unique media tie-up, Germany’s leading Internet service provider and ESA will conduct a live space video chat via the Internet on 28 November 2006, starting at 21:15 (CET).
The event will enable German-speaking space enthusiasts to communicate with ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter - from Germany - via the web direct from the ISS, 400 km above the Earth where Reiter is now in the closing stages of the historic Astrolab Mission.
