Jean-Jacques Dordain
Listen to the press breakfast with ESA’s Director General in Paris
 
14 January 2010
This morning ESA's Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain met with the press at the traditional start-of-year gathering at ESA’s headquarters in Paris. The meeting began at 08:30 with breakfast, followed at 09:00 by a press briefing to go over the Agency’s activities in the year just ended and take a look at activities to come in 2010.
 
The highlights of the year are the launch of Node-3 and Cupola, and of CryoSat, as well as of two ESA astronauts to the International Space Station. A simulated 520-day 'trip to Mars' will be starting in May. The launch of the second Automated Transfer Vehicle and of the first Galileo system satellites, the first lift-off of Soyuz from Kourou and the maiden flight of Vega should also be pencilled in your diaries.
