A CULTURAL POLICY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION

The Arts Catalyst's Report to the European Space Agency

http://www.artscatalyst.org/projects/space/ISS.html

In 2005, the European Space Agency (ESA) awarded the The
Arts Catalyst in London a contract to carry out a study into
possible future cultural utilisation of the International Space Station.

The study set out to investigate and focus the interest of
the cultural world in the International Space Station, to
generate a policy for involving cultural users in the
International Space Station programme in the longer term and
to develop a representative set of ready-to-implement
demonstrator projects in arts, culture and media. Under the
lead of the Arts Catalyst (GB), the study team also comprises
Association Leonardo- Olats (F) and Delta Utec (NL), with the MIR network.

Study Update - 5 October 2006

The Arts Catalyst submitted its report to the European Space
Agency in early 2006. It is still to be approved by ESA,
however permission has been given to makes its contents public
