N° 29–1994: Spotlight on Cluster
29 September 1994
At the end of 1995, CLUSTER, an ambitious European Space Agency science project using four identical spacecraft to study the Earth's magnetosphere, will be launched from Europe's spaceport in Kourou by the first Ariane 5 launcher.
For the first and only time during the development and construction of Cluster, all four satellites will be together in the space testing facilities of IABG in Munich.
On this unique occasion, ESA invites you, and in particular the visual media, to a joint ESA/Industry briefing on the Cluster project at 10h30 on Tuesday, 11 October at IABG, Einsteinstrasse 20, OTTOBRUNN (Germany).
After the meeting, ESA and Industry representatives as well as mission specialists will be available for interviews. A detailed agenda is enclosed. If you intend to participate please return the attached registration form by fax (33.1) 42.73.76.90 to ESA Public Relations Division.
