Space Agency Leaders Gather in Paris08/07/2008 |
| On 17th of July ESA will host an ISS Heads of Agency meeting at which leaders of the space agencies participating in the International Space Station programme (ESA for Europe, NASA for the US, CSA for Canada, JAXA for Japan, Roscosmos for Russia) will take stock of the ISS status and decide on future activities. |

The meeting will take place at ESA Headquarters in Paris. The International Space Station has become very "international" indeed with the successful launch and deployment of ESA's Columbus laboratory module, the launch and textbook perfect docking of ESA's Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) and the addition of Japan's Kibo laboratory.
At the meeting, the ISS Partners will address the challenging task of completing assembly of the Space Station, review operations and utilisation aspects and assess the space transportation strategy.
