Press briefing with ESA's Director General
14 January 2009
Today ESA's Director General, Jean-Jacques Dordain, met with the press at ESA Headquarters in Paris for the annual press briefing. Listen to the audio of the conference.
During the press briefing Dordain reviewed the Agency’s activities in 2008 and looked ahead to those of 2009, a year set to be full of events and marked by several major launches (Herschel-Planck, GOCE, SMOS and CryoSat-2).
Human spaceflight will also be under the spotlight this year with the final selection of astronauts and two European astronauts joining the International Space Station: Frank De Winne, for a long-duration mission, and Christer Fuglesang.
